Condition: Good
Description: Octavo [21 cm] Black cloth over boards with black and white printed labels on the backstrip and front board. Publisher's black top stain. Black endpapers.

The first of Ward's six wordless novels that is told exclusively through 144 striking woodcut illustrations. Lynd Ward was not only a talented printmaker, but he was a socially-conscious storyteller as well. "Gods' Man," a modern morality play, was the work that built his reputation. It depicts the deadly bargaining of the soul that a struggling young artist is willing to make.
