Book Tour and Press

I’m excited to share my work adapting Eric H Cline’s 1177 BC!

For an in-depth discussion of the job of adapting Eric Cline’s original book, I wrote this article for Anceint Near East Today.

More insight into the process went into this Interview with the Usonian, a fellow Fulbright fellow to Cyprus.

I discussed the making of the book with The History of Cyprus Podcast. I was already a major fan before Andreas and I had this conversation.

1177 BC A Graphic History: Pre-Order Now!

Pre-Order now through your local bookstore (mine is Phoenix Books in Burlington) and they’ll know they need to stock the book.

After more than two years of drawing maps, ancient art, imagined scenes of cities, ships, and battles, I’m excited to share this book with the world. The Late Bronze Age has never been more alive and in full color as it will be in April 2024! Arriving together with Eric Cline’s sequel, After 1177 BC!

Praise: “This funny, beautiful book is a tour de force of visual storytelling. Glynnis Fawkes’s stunning graphic rendition of 1177 B.C. amplifies Eric Cline’s landmark work without simplifying the historical questions that remain. From the mysterious Sea Peoples to garrulous hippos, the Late Bronze Age comes alive on the page.”—Josephine Quinn, author of How the World Made the West: A 4,000-Year History
