The Last of Us draws inspiration from several sources, but one of the most apparent influences is The Road. Written by Cormac McCarthy, the novel was first published in 2006 and would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize. Later, it would get a movie adaptation starring Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron, bringing the post-apocalyptic journey to a wider audience. The book apparently isn’t done branching out to other forms of media, as The Road: A Graphic Novel is now up for preorder with a scheduled release date of September 17.
The Road: A Graphic Novel
$25 (was $27)
This is the first-ever graphic novel adaptation of McCarthy’s hit novel. It follows the same story threads, with a nameless father and son duo trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland–and it’s every bit as bleak as The Last of Us. It clocks in at 160 pages and was personally approved by McCarthy before he passed away last year. In other words, it’s all but guaranteed to hit the high standards of the iconic novelist.
Ahead of its release, you can preorder The Road: A Graphic Novel for $25 (down from $27).
If you’re interested in checking out more of McCarthy’s work, you’ll find several of his books on sale right now. This includes No Country for Old Men, Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West, and his debut novel, The Orchard Keeper.
You’ll also find All the Pretty Horses for ($10 (down from $18), which won the National Book Award. However, it’s hard to go wrong with anything from the McCarthy catalog, as most of his work is highly praised. Here’s a short list of the best deals available right now.
Fans of post-apocalyptic fiction should also check out Fanatical’s Build Your Own Trinity Bundle, which lets you select up to seven games for as little as $1.53 each, including the post-nuclear open-world RPGs Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
