The Lord of the Flies Graphic Novel/ Comic Book

by Nysha T.



Lord of the Flies is now in comic! With colour highlights, and landscapes from the book, we now can see the story unfold in picture! Packed with real emotion, and quotes from the text, we can now understand what the story truly means.

Excerpt from the introduction of my comic:

"The Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a revelation that man can become savage when civilization and order is far from their reach. This point is shown in a group of British schoolboys stranded on an island by a plane crash during World War II. And with no adult alive to lead them, they start to do all sorts of antics. Their choices are limitless.

As the book is an allegory, I have tried to capture the second meanings in the scenes from the book. For example, there are a group of boys who arrive in the first chapter who have crosses on their hats and uniform. They march in step together too. To me, they have a resemblance to the Nazis, but they are depicted as boys. And their characters are reflected in the chapters to come."
