Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis
In his debut graphic novel, legendary award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis comes to life with an all-new, reimagined story, adapted by Coppola with Chris Ryall and award-winning artist Jacob Phillips.
Megalopolis: The Director’s Cut Graphic Novel is a unique 160-page graphic novel that presents an alternate version of Francis Ford Coppola’s visionary film. Created and written by Francis Ford Coppola, it is adapted by Chris Ryall in collaboration with Coppola, and illustrated by Eisner Award–nominated cartoonist Jacob Phillips.
The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.

Over the course of his career, he has received five Academy Awards, six Golden Globe awards, two Palme D’Or awards, and a BAFTA. Megalopolis: The Director’s Cut is his debut graphic novel, not a licensed adaptation of his film of the same name. He lives in San Francisco.

He has written many graphic novel adaptations such as Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show, Stephen King and Joe Hill’s Throttle, Harlan Ellison’s Phoenix Without Ashes, Shaun of the Dead, George Romero’s Land of the Dead, Beowulf, and more. London-based Jacob Phillips is the artist and colorist on Megalopolis; the cocreator, artist, and colorist of That Texas Blood, The Enfield Gang Massacre, and Newburn; and is an Eisner-nominated colorist on books such as Reckless, Criminal, and Night Fever.
