The Last Unicorn (Graphic Novels)
6 books in catalog
Fantasy literature gained one of its most enduring classics with the 1968 publication of The Last Unicorn, a tale of a solitary unicorn searching for others of her kind. Written by American author and screenwriter Peter S. Beagle, the novel established a unique standard for mythological storytelling that blends subtle humor, melancholy, and poetic prose.
Born on April 20, 1939, in New York City, Peter Soyer Beagle grew up in an artistic and academic family before earning a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pittsburgh in 1959 and completing graduate work at Stanford University in 1961. He early on demonstrated versatility across multiple forms, detailing a cross-country motor-scooter journey across America in his 1965 travel memoir I See By My Outfit. His narrative work quickly expanded into screenplay adaptation and speculative fiction, earning him widespread recognition across the genre.
Throughout his multi-decade career, Beagle received major honors within fantasy and science fiction literature. He was awarded a World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 2011 and was named a Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2018. His honors also include Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Mythopoeic Awards for his short fiction and novel-length work.
Beagle is celebrated for combining lyrical language, subtle irony, and emotional depth. His fantasy works often center on memory, mortality, loss, and the persistence of wonder within mundane settings, ranging from haunted graveyards to modern rural estates. Rather than relying on epic military conflicts, his narratives prioritize intimate character interactions and complex interior journeys.
