Hinds is widely known for bringing classic literature to life through richly illustrated graphic novels. His acclaimed works include adaptations of Beowulf, King Lear, stories by Edgar Allan Poe, and The Odyssey—his best-selling title. His work has become especially popular in classrooms, making classic texts more accessible to middle and high school readers.

During the event, Hinds will share insights into his creative process, discuss his current and upcoming projects—including a deluxe edition of The Odyssey releasing May 12, 2026, and his forthcoming adaptation of The Aeneid (Spring 2027)—and present a live drawing demonstration. The City of College Park will be giving away some of Hinds work during the program.  

A longtime contributor to the vibrant arts community along the Route 1 corridor, Hinds now calls Hyattsville home and continues to draw inspiration from the area’s creative energy.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the art of visual storytelling up close and meet one of the region’s most accomplished illustrators. 

Note:  Attendees will have a chance to take home a free copy of Gareth's new book.
