They must keep running,” and tells the grueling journey of a father and his young son over several months through a landscape struck by an unspecified catastrophe that has destroyed industrial civilization and almost all life.

It was made into a film in 2009, directed by John Hillcoatwith Mortensen is a German actor.

Rodolphe LachatVice President and Publisher of Abrams Comic Arts, said: “Manu Larcenet spent months and months reading and rereading every line of the novel to grasp all the subtleties and perfectly understand the atmosphere that defined it. The street such a strange and unique text. The result is one of the strongest comics I’ve ever read, where every panel, every setting, every situation grips the reader in a way that few graphic novels can. This book is not just the graphic adaptation of a masterpiece, it is a masterpiece in itself.”

Larcenet added: “Drawing is a different language, but I think I have remained completely faithful to the novel and its author. I wrote to Cormac McCarthyhe saw my first panels but unfortunately died before the album was finished. I hope I have understood his novel as he would have wanted. I am convinced that I share much of his vision and hope that my album will be received as a tribute to a great writer.”

The Street of Cormac McCarthy from Manu Larcenet will be released on September 24, 2024.
