In Episode 694 this week, Damien Duffy from Parable of the Talents talks about his recently released sequel to Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower!
Damien was chosen to continue his successful work of translating Butler’s prose into the comics format, once again working with artist John Jennings. It’s described this way: “This series follows Lauren Olamina, a preacher’s daughter who develops a new religion, Earthseed, while traveling the dangerous and dystopian country. Duffy and Jennings bring the sci-fi classic to life with a beautifully drawn graphic novel adaptation. Parable of the Talents continues Butler’s masterful story set against a background of a war-torn continent under the control of Christian fundamentalist fascist state.” We discuss how this book came to be, who the various characters are, and what else we can expect from this high-power writer/artist team in the months ahead! Published by Abrams ComicsArt, this graphic novel can be found in local comics shops, in your local bookstore, or here on Amazon.com. Don’t miss it!
