The Road: A Graphic Novel Adaptation

Published by ABRAMS

Experience Cormac McCarthy’s haunting masterpiece in a new and unforgettable form. The Road: A Graphic Novel Adaptation is the first-ever visual retelling of the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel—fully authorized and approved by McCarthy himself.

Acclaimed cartoonist Manu Larcenet brings stark, visceral power to this postapocalyptic journey of a father and son walking a burned and broken world. His illustrations capture the raw desperation, flickering hope, and deep humanity that made the original novel a modern classic.

This adaptation has been praised as “superb… a suitably dark graphic treatment of McCarthy’s postapocalyptic masterpiece” (Kirkus). It’s an essential addition for fans of literary graphic novels, dystopian storytelling, and beautifully executed visual narrative.

Perfect for readers of:
• Literary and postapocalyptic fiction
• Atmospheric graphic novels
• McCarthy collectors and first-time readers alike
