Armato di lanciafiamme, fa irruzione nelle case dei sovversivi che conservano libri e li brucia. Montag però non è felice della sua esistenza alienata, fra giganteschi schermi televisivi, una moglie che gli è indifferente e un lavoro di routine. Finché, dall'incontro con una donna sconosciuta, inizia per lui la scoperta di un sentimento e di un mondo diverso.

Un raffinato graphic novel, approvato da Ray Bradbury (che ne firma la prefazione), nel quale rivivono le allucinate e poetiche atmosfere di uno dei romanzi distopici più amati. (www.ibs.it)
