The Road: a Graphic Novel Adaptation
by Manu Larcenet
"When he woke in the woods in the dark and the cold of the night he'd reach out to touch the child sleeping behind him. Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one than what had gone before. Like the onset of some cold glaucoma dimming away the world."
I could not imagine a better artist more suited to adapting McCarthy's poignantly haunting use of words to recreate the bleak and visceral post-apocalyptic dystopian America. Every panel in every page aptly captures the decaying expanse of the cold world around them as an ash-spoiled winter creeps in, while also richly highlighting the warmth and love between father and son as they "carry the fire" and forge on. It's exactly as McCarthy wrote the story to be. As one of my all time favorite books, I knew as soon as I saw the cover I would be pleased with this graphic novel adaptation. This has blown past all of my expectations even then.
