Orwell #[nn]

A bold crimson field frames a striking black ink portrait of George Orwell himself — gaunt, intense, and unflinching — on Sébastien Verdier's arresting cover for this 2021 SelfMadeHero graphic biography. Written by Pierre Christin with an English adaptation by Edward Gauvin, the volume opens with "Chapter I: Orwell Before Orwell," promising an intimate look at the man behind some of the twentieth century's most enduring literature. With art from Verdier, André Juillard, and Olivier Balez, this is a handsomely produced and genuinely compelling entry point into Orwell's life told in comics form.
