The Subtle Knife: The Graphic Novel

This 2022 graphic novel adaptation from Alfred A. Knopf Publishing brings Philip Pullman’s The Subtle Knife to a new visual medium. The series, currently consisting of a single volume, continues the story of Lyra and Will as they navigate the perils of multiple worlds and the mysterious, titular knife. The adaptation is notable for its collaboration with a talented creative team, translating the dense, philosophical narrative of the second His Dark Materials book into a lush, sequential art form. For fans of the original novel, this edition offers a fresh, immersive way to experience a pivotal chapter in Pullman’s beloved trilogy.
