'Beautifully imagined . . . so poignant and relevant' CHRIS MOULD
'Just as compelling and evocative as Golding's world-shaking masterpiece' Comics ReviewBefore The Stand and The Hunger Games, before Battle Royale and Yellowjackets, there was Lord of the Flies. A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors, a group of schoolboys. By day, they explore the dazzling beaches. By night, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast and of what they've lost. 'There aren't any grown-ups anywhere.'Orphaned by society, they must forge their own; but it isn't long before the group is split, and their innocent games take a dangerous turn. 'What are we? Humans? Or Animals?'For the first time, from acclaimed artist Aim�e de Jongh, comes the stunning graphic novel adaptation of this classic story, one of the BBC's '100 Novels that shaped our World'.
