The Good Earth

Based on Pearl S. Buck's classic novel, this single-issue comic from Simon and Schuster adapts the epic story of a Chinese peasant family's struggle for survival and prosperity. Published in 2018, it distills the sweeping, Pulitzer Prize-winning narrative into a visual format. The project is most associated with writer Nick Bertozzi, who brings a grounded, humanistic touch to this intimate portrait of resilience. It matters as a thoughtful, standalone graphic novel adaptation of a literary landmark.
