I was drawn to American graphic artist Lynd Ward (1905-1985) for his wordless novels.  These novels are telling a story made entirely out of woodcuts.  His images are quite graphic, some are hard to look at but I love his style.  He's also the first artist I've come across to make a wordless novel of woodcuts.  Before him, I didn't know anybody did this.  His most famous one is "God's Man" in 1929.  Here are some images from that novel.
