Heart of Darkness

A striking graphic novel adaptation from SelfMadeHero, launched in 2010, brings Joseph Conrad's classic novella into the comics medium. Writer David Zane Mairowitz and artist Catherine Anyango collaborate to translate the dense, psychological journey up the Congo River into a visual language of shadow and line. Anyango's stark, expressionistic art captures the oppressive atmosphere and moral decay at the story's core, while Mairowitz distills Conrad's prose into a taut, haunting narrative. This single-issue volume stands as a powerful, artful entry in the canon of literary comics adaptations.
