The Good Earth

Based on Pearl S. Buck's classic novel, this 2017 graphic novel adaptation from Simon and Schuster brings the epic story of a Chinese farmer's rise from poverty to wealth to a new visual medium. The single-issue release, illustrated by Nick Bertozzi, distills the novel's sweeping narrative of resilience and generational change into a concise comic format. It serves as a faithful, accessible entry point to a Pulitzer Prize-winning work, notable for bringing a landmark of 20th-century literature into the comics medium.
