Outlaw, hero, legend—Ned Kelly tells his own story in a bold graphic novel blending raw imagery, a poetic voice, and a fierce spirit of resistance.

Legendary Australian bushranger Ned Kelly (1855–1880) was born to poor Irish settlers. A horse thief, a sharpshooter, a murderer—but also a folk hero who once saved a child from drowning—he became a symbol of resistance against the British Empire. In this striking graphic novel, Marie-Ève de Grave gives voice to Kelly himself, narrating his story on the eve of his final stand. Brought to life by the bold linocut artwork of Jean-Jacques de Grave and a refined typographic layout by Philippe Bretelle, The Story of Ned Kelly offers a powerful portrait of an outlaw turned icon.
