Thoreau at Walden

In Thoreau at Walden, John Porcellino adapts the philosopher's famous experiment in simple living into a meditative, hand-drawn comic. Published by Disney in 2018, this single-issue work distills the essence of Walden Pond into a quiet, contemplative visual narrative. Porcellino's minimalist style—honed over decades of autobiographical comics—makes this a uniquely personal take on a classic text, inviting readers to slow down alongside Thoreau.
