The Barefoot Serpent #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis oversized hardcover collects Scott Morse's 2003 graphic novel, a wordless story told through painted panels that weaves together three narratives: a young boy in 1930s Japan, a modern-day filmmaker, and the life of legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi. The book explores themes of creativity, violence, and the search for meaning, with Morse's expressive watercolor art carrying the entire tale without dialogue or captions.
"The Barefoot Serpent" is a quietly powerful graphic novel from 2003, written and illustrated by Scott Morse, whose singular vision weaves a poignant narrative about a family grappling with grief in Hawaii. Framed by a biographical reflection on filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, the story unfolds with a restrained, lyrical intensity that lingers long after the final page. The cover, also by Morse, captures the mood with its evocative, hand-crafted detail.
