Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation #[nn]

Octavia E. Butler's visionary science fiction novel comes to vivid life in this graphic novel adaptation written by Damian Duffy and illustrated by John Jennings. The cover presents a striking close-up of a young Black woman with locs, her golden eye gleaming with fierce resolve against a blazing backdrop of fire and chaos — an image that immediately conveys both danger and determined survival. Jennings's bold, flame-drenched artwork makes this 2021 adaptation feel urgent and alive, a worthy visual translation of Butler's enduring story.
