by Octavia E. Butler • Adapted by Damian Duffy & John Jennings
Published by ABRAMS, paperback

Step into the acclaimed graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower—a visionary classic that feels more urgent than ever. Masterfully adapted by the award-winning team behind Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, this immersive retelling pairs Butler’s prophetic storytelling with cinematic illustration and emotional depth.

Set against a crumbling near-future America, young Lauren Olamina must navigate danger, displacement, and the fierce hope required to shape a new community. As The Washington Post wrote, “A 1993 dystopian novel imagined the world in 2024. It’s eerily accurate.”

For readers who explore big ideas, powerful character arcs, and reflective fiction, this beautifully crafted edition deserves a place on every shelf.

Pair it with:
• Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation
• Parable of the Talents: A Graphic Novel Interpretation
—A perfect trilogy set for gifting or deep-dive reading.
