(3) YA Adapted by P. Craig Russell. Illustrated by P. Craig Russell, Galen Showman, Scott Hampton. This graphic version of the classic novel sticks closely to the source material, imagining Lowry's dystopian world in shades of gray and pale blue and adding color judiciously as Jonas's vision and understanding develop. Most spreads have plenty of text and small panels, making occasional quiet or large-paneled moments stand out as dramatic. Appended interviews add insights into the original and the adaptation.
