The Road: a Graphic Novel Adaptation by Manu Larcenet
5.0
An incredible adaptation.
Manu Larcenet succeeds in capturing the desolate grace of The Road. Vast, rusting structures, empty cities full of trash and nothing else, wide open expanses painted in varying shades of grey - there's something breathtaking about a world brought to its knees, and Larcenet delivers this bittersweet beauty in every panel.
He also highlights humanity's descent into superstition and tribalism (something only vaguely described in the novel) which I appreciated as it added some haunting visual elements on top of the ragged, disheveled look of most of the characters.
All throughout this adaption you can feel Larcenet's love for the dying world of The Road.
