Sapiens

In Sapiens (2020–present, Thomas Rap), David Vandermeulen, Inge Pieters, and Yuval Noah Harari adapt the historian’s landmark exploration of human history into a graphic-novel format, with Daniel Casanave’s expressive art bringing the epic narrative to life. Spanning three issues so far, this series distills complex ideas about our species’ evolution, social structures, and cultural revolutions into accessible, visually compelling storytelling. It matters as a thoughtful, ambitious bridge between academic nonfiction and the comic medium, offering a fresh entry point for readers curious about humanity’s past.
