“It was an old dream of mine to have The Alchemist as a graphic novel. I had received several proposals but none of them came anywhere near the classical vision I have in my mind for a graphic format. When I saw Sea Lion Books’ proposal however it took me less than half an hour to make my decision.” - Paulo Coelho
“The bright, vivid, sometimes even sexy (is that weird to say?) illustrations bring new life to the classic story and remind us why it’s one of the best-selling books of all time.” - marieclaire.com
“A beautifully done story with gorgeous illustrations. What’s truly important about the story comes shining through in the dialogue as well as the images; the most important thing is to strive to accomplish your dreams. A beautiful story, well worth the time to read.” - There's a Book
“The look is glossy and warm, with handsomely chiseled heroes and buxom women. Coelho himself was the model for the King of Salem, one of the characters who helps guide the shepherd boy.” - Los Angeles Times
“This was one of the first graphic novels I’ve read and I must admit I really liked it. I loved comic books as a kid and this is a fantastic way to introduce new or even reluctant readers to the joy of reading. Re-publishing classic stories such as this one into a different format will bring many new fans to the table.” - One Book Shy of a Full Shelf
“The Alchemist [graphic novel] likely will prove more popular, given that the book that inspired it is an international best-seller hailed as a modern classic. Chief illustrator Daniel Sampere wisely keeps his art lush and vivid … often projecting a dominant emotion by zeroing in on facial expressions or evocative symbols.” - The Washington Times
“The desert sands sparkle underfoot as Santiago, the young shepherd, treks to the Pyramids in this gorgeously rendered adaptation of The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho’s international sensation. This modern classic, a celebrity favorite — Joe Jonas, Russell Crowe and Will Smith are among its fans — translates perfectly to the graphic-novel genre, enlivening the story of Santiago’s search for treasure from Spain to Tangier and across the Egyptian desert. If illustrator Daniel Sampere’s majestic drawings of the King of Salem seem familiar, it’s because they are modeled on Coelho’s face. Sampere’s art and Derek Ruiz’s adaptation of the novel add nuances to this story about self-fulfillment.” - USA Today
“This modern classic, a celebrity...translates perfectly to the graphic-novel genre, enlivening the story of Santiago’s search for treasure from Spain to Tangier and across the Egyptian desert.” - USA Today
“The Alchemist: A Graphic Novel reinterprets Paulo Coelho’s international best-seller with dramatic illustrations, offering readers a fresh take on the magical tale of a shepherd’s journey.” - O, the Oprah Magazine
