6/12/2023 0 Comments Anthem the graphic novelThe graphic novel is an excellent adaptation of Anthem and clearly brings it to fruition. Grossman clearly understands the story she is adapting and retells the story of Equality 7-2521 and his desire for freedom in a poignant way. It does not waver from the original story of individualism, liberty, and freedom. One thing I appreciate about this adaptions is that it keeps the story intact. There is only the collective referring to himself as “we.” However, after he stumbles on a lost mine, he begins to explore his own mind and falls in love with a woman he calls the ‘Golden One.’ However, the collective he is a part of does not value his newfound desire to learn. He’s born a strong, athletic person in a post-apocalyptic world where there is no individuality. Published by the Atlas Society, the graphic novel retells this modern day fable in an illustrated way.įor those unfamiliar with the story, it follows a character named Equality 7-2521. Based on Ayn Rand’s short novel Anthem, Jennifer Grossman adapts the story with comic book artist Dan Parsons (Dark Horse Star Wars: Legacy and DC Comics Nightwing: Convergence).
