Manu Larcenet's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Road, into a graphic novel has been met with acclaim. Illustrated with a bleak and brutal style, the graphic novel follows a father and son as they navigate a desolate world where survival is a daily struggle.

Approved by McCarthy himself before his passing, the adaptation brings a new dimension to the story of familial love and resilience. The illustrations by Larcenet add depth to McCarthy's stark prose, capturing the harsh realities of a post-apocalyptic world where humanity is scarce.

While some may draw comparisons to the 2009 film adaptation, Larcenet's unique artwork sets this graphic novel apart, offering a fresh perspective on McCarthy's powerful and haunting narrative.
