The Barefoot Serpent #[nn]
"The Barefoot Serpent" is a quietly powerful graphic novel from 2003, written and illustrated by Scott Morse, whose singular vision weaves a poignant narrative about a family grappling with grief in Hawaii. Framed by a biographical reflection on filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, the story unfolds with a restrained, lyrical intensity that lingers long after the final page. The cover, also by Morse, captures the mood with its evocative, hand-crafted detail.
