AFTER THE HELL IS OVER

After the Hell Is Over is a deeply researched and visually arresting graphic novel that reexamines the life of Ernest Hemingway beyond myth, bravado, and legend. Adapted from John Mulholland’s biographical screenplay and inspired by Mulholland's New York Times Critics Pick documentary Hemingway & Cooper: The True Gen, the book offers an intimate, human portrait of one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.

Told through striking sequential art and grounded in extensive historical research, the narrative traces Hemingway’s inner battles alongside his public triumphs—war, love, fame, creativity, and decline—revealing the cost of genius and the contradictions that defined his life. Rather than glorifying the mythology, After the Hell Is Over confronts the emotional and psychological toll behind the persona, exploring what remained when the noise faded and the legend was stripped away.

Created with the cooperation of Patrick Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway’s late son, the book brings rare authenticity and perspective to the story, honoring the truth of a complex man while shedding new light on his relationships, struggles, and enduring legacy.

Bold, cinematic, and emotionally resonant, After the Hell Is Over is not just a biography—it is a reckoning. A graphic novel for readers of literature, history, and visual storytelling alike, it invites audiences to rediscover Hemingway as he was, not as he was sold.
