Adapted by Stéphane Melchior.
Translated by Annie Eaton.
Illustrated by
Clément Oubrerie.
Coloring by Clément Oubrerie with Philippe Bruno. This edition compiles all three sections of the French graphic-novel adaptation (volumes one and two were previously published individually in the U.S.). In part three, Lyra and Iorek dethrone the usurper bear king, then deliver the alethiometer to Lord Asriel--and young Roger to his sad fate. Oubrerie's illustrations capably convey the starkly beautiful setting, the bears' violent battle, and Lyra's intense emotions.
