Lord of the Flies Graphic Novel

A stunning graphic novel adaptation of this classic story.

  • “We’re on an island. We’ve been on the mountain-top and seen water all round. We saw no houses, no smoke, no footprints, no boats, no people.”
  • “You should’ve seen the blood! We got in a circle. We crept up. The pig squealed.”
  • “The beast was harmless and horrible and the news must reach the others as soon as possible.”

Since its publication in 1954, Lord of the Flies has sold millions of copies, been included in numerous lists of the best books ever written and has featured as required reading for schools and colleges across the world. Now, Eisner-nominated comic author and animator Aimée de Jongh brings new life to this classic story with the first graphic novel adaptation. Using direct quotations from Golding’s original text, this reimagining add colour to the haunting reflections of human nature that made the novel so iconic.

Aimée de Jongh worked closed with the Golding family to create this stunning adaptation. Golding’s daughter Judy says, ‘My dad was an enormously visual writer and what [de Jongh] has done is just beautiful.’ Booklist calls it “an adaptation perfectly capturing the ghastly violence and agonising emotion of the original.”
