The primary challenge and triumph of the comic adaptation lie in the visualization of Quixote’s madness. In the novel, Cervantes relies on long, winding descriptions and the reports of a biased narrator to establish Quixote’s delusions. In a comic, the artist must make an immediate choice: do we draw what is real, or do we draw what Quixote sees? The most effective adaptations, such as those by Will Eisner or the more recent efforts by the Museum of Modern Art, solve this by manipulating the "panel border." The panel acts as a frame of reference. Often, Quixote is drawn with a regal, heroic stature reminiscent of classical sculpture, while the world around him is scratchy, ugly, and unglamorous. This visual dissonance forces the reader to occupy the uncomfortable position of the bystander. We see the windmills not as giants, but as machines, yet we see Quixote charging at them with a conviction that is visually arresting. The comic medium strips away the buffer of prose, presenting the tragedy of his delusion as an objective, visual fact.
