An Afrofuturist retelling of Alexandre Dumass classic 19th century novel The Count of Monte CristoThe Last Count of Monte Cristo is a bold retelling of Alexandre Dumass classic tale of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption. This speculative update pushes the narrative into a future hundreds of years after the polar ice caps have melted and submerged our planet into a new era of technology and culture. In this futuristic reinterpretation, author Ayize Jama-Everett and illustrator Tristan Roach revisit the original inspiration of The Count of Monte CristoAlexandre Dumass own father. A greatly respected general during the French Revolution, Dumas was one of the highest-ranking officers of African descent in a Western army in history. Like the protagonist of his sons story, General Dumas was betrayed and spent years in prison before getting a chance to return to his beloved France. The Last Count of Monte Cristo is a radical and powerful graphic novel update that reclaims the cultural heritage of Dumass tale and suggests the terrible future that could threaten the human race if we continue to destroy our planet.
