Darren Aronofsky’s Noah has been a box office smash, and he’s written the text for a graphic novel version of the tale that brings the majesty of the film to life in a beautifully drawn graphic novel. For families, this is a great one to read and enjoy together.
Noah (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $21.09 – 30% off the list price of $29.99)
From acclaimed filmmaker DARREN ARONOFSKY (Black Swan, The Wrestler) and artist NIKO HENRICHON (Pride of Baghdad), NOAH is a fresh take on the biblical epic for the 21st Century.
A fantastical world is about to be destroyed and one man is chosen to start a new one. As wicked forces try to take his Ark, Noah must hold his family together while they watch the annihilation of all they know.
Infusing the Book of Genesis with fantasy and science fiction, NOAH both reinvents the elements of the Flood story everyone knows and simultaneously takes the reader beyond them and into the unexpected.
If you’re looking for something a bit more traditional and written specifically for children, consider:

While the adaptation never continued, this first volume has become something of a legend among collectors. Now, for the first time, DC reprints this hard-to-find classic in [Kindle format].
