Fred Fordham Adapts Brave New World As A Graphic Novel

It was recently adapted as a TV series by comic book writer Grant Morrison. And it is now being turned into a comic book by Fred Fordham. Fordham also previously adapted Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and drew Philip Pullman's debut comic, The Adventures of John Blake: Mystery of the Ghost Ship for Phoenix Weekly Comic.
