Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species: A Graphic Adaptation #[nn]

Darwin's world-changing ideas get a vivid new life in this 2009 graphic adaptation written by Michael Keller, drawing on Darwin's own words. Nicolle Rager Fuller's cover art bursts with the diversity of life itself — a iridescent blue butterfly, a hovering hummingbird, a honeybee in flight, a poison dart frog, a spider on its web, red wildflowers, drifting dandelion seeds, and a watchful animal eye all crowd the composition, painting natural selection as the endlessly rich, interconnected spectacle Darwin envisioned. With Fuller handling pencils, inks, colors, and lettering throughout, this is a thoughtfully crafted introduction to one of science's most profound texts.
