The Road: A Graphic Novel Adaptation (French: La Route) is a French comic book by Manu Larcenet, published by Dargaud on 29 March 2024.[1] It is based on the novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy and follows a father and his son who try to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.[2][3]
François Rissel of ActuaBD wrote that it "faithfully transposes the violence and horror" of McCarthy's novel and "carries a brutal, almost nihilistic vision".[4]
The book was nominated for the 2025 Harvey Award for Best International Book[5][6]
