About the series
In 2008, Marvel Comics launched this two-issue adaptation of Orson Scott Card's alternate-history fantasy novel, Red Prophet. The series expands the world of Alvin Maker, reimagining a young Alvin's coming-of-age amid the tensions of a magical, frontier America. Illustrated by artists including Roland Brown, the project brought Card's celebrated prose to the comics page with a focused, self-contained story. A concise but vivid entry in Marvel's line of literary adaptations, it offers a distinct visual take on a cult-favorite novel.
