Who illustrated the authorized 2019 graphic novel adaptation?

Renée Nault illustrated the authorized 2019 graphic novel adaptation of *The Handmaid’s Tale*.

Nault adapted Margaret Atwood’s 1985 dystopian novel into a visual format, working with Atwood on the authorized edition. The book was published on March 26, 2019, by Doubleday in the United States and by other publishers internationally.

The graphic novel follows Offred’s life under Gilead, where fertile women are forcibly assigned to bear children for ruling-class Commanders. Nault’s artwork uses stark composition and strongly controlled color, helping translate the novel’s oppressive atmosphere and recurring symbolism into images.

A common mix-up is confusing this book with the 2017 Hulu television adaptation. The graphic novel is a separate adaptation of Atwood’s original novel, not a comic-book version of the television series. Nault is the illustrator and adapter; Atwood remains the original author.
