De weg

In 2024, Dargaud Benelux launched De weg, a graphic novel adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic novel The Road, brought to life by French cartoonist Manu Larcenet, who both adapted the script and provided the art. Larcenet’s stark, expressive visuals capture the bleak, ash-choked world of a father and son’s desperate journey, translating the novel’s spare prose into a haunting visual language. This single-volume work stands as a notable European graphic novel adaptation of a major American literary text, showcasing Larcenet’s ability to render profound emotional weight through sequential art.
