Don't panic! You're not timetripping! It's the tenth anniversary of the publication of Douglas Adams's zany, best-selling novel, and to celebrate Harmony is reissuing a special edition of this cult classic!By now the story is legendary. Arthur Dent, mild-mannered, out-to-lunch earth-ling, is plucked from his planet by his friend Ford Prefect just seconds before it was demolished to make way for a hyper-space bypass. Ford, posing as an out-of-work actor, is a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Together the gruesome twosome begin their now-famous inter-galactic journey through time, space and best-sellerdom.For Hitchhiker fanatics (you know who you are!) who've read the books, seen the television program, and listened to the radio show, as well as newcomers to Douglas Adams's unique universe -- remember -- don't panic, don't forget to bring a towel, and don't forget to celebrate The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's tenth anniversary by wearing your bathrobe.

Wasn't looking for a graphic novel!

The description wasn't clear enough, the fact that this is a graphic novel and not the actual book was a disappointment. We returned it, hoping the description gets and update.

Essential Sci-Fi comedy for the rest of us

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 1998

Science fiction lovers and haters alike will find that these books have a lot to offer. Douglas Adams' style is more humorous philosophy than science fiction. Arther Dent, a "perfectly ordinary Earth man" whose most remarkable feature is that he is remarkably unremarkable, involuntarily embarks on a voyage from the doomed planet Earth, only to encounter a range of strange, yet somehow familiar, humans and "aliens". He has some very good drinks with some very good friends, gets blown up, thrown out of an airlock, transported through time... He meets the creator of Earth, visits pre-historic Earth, a few alternative Earths, yet utterly fails to find a cup of tea. However, his towel undoubtedly lended a hand here and there. -Andrew R. Grantham

A very well written adaptation of the novel.

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2002

John Carnell did a wonderful adaptation of Douglas Adams' novel by the same name. I enjoyed this version of H2G2 allot, and think that this version of the story stays very true to the original novel. The story keeps the original theme and fun of the story, while compacting it down to a graphic novel that can be read in a few hours.
If after reading this you find that you liked the story you would probably find the original novel and the follow up books even more entertaining and humorous and probably should read them.

Move over, Lemuel Gulliver!

Make room for Arthur Dent, the unlikely hero of Douglas Adams' four-book trilogy. Although it bogs down at times, the Hitchhiker's Trilogy is usually fast-paced satire at its best.

Panic.

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 1999

I really, really love this book. I have read it...well, a lot of times, and I practically know it by heart. The prose is delightfully loopy, and it's also great for fanfics.

Great read, I would definitely recommend

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 20, 2020

Great book, the story is pretty much unchanged from the novel version and any changes that were made make sense for the graphic novel format, one thing that was a shame was that they condensed some of the jokes and a couple of times they cut out the best parts but it didn't detract from my enjoyment that much, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy fans are definitely going to like this version
