About Dead Man Walking
Since its landmark 1993 release, Sr. Helen Prejean’s Dead Man Walking has been adapted as an Academy Award-winning film, an opera, a stage play, and now a graphic novel. Dead Man Walking tells the true story of Sr. Helen Prejean, whose work ministering to Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie as they were scheduled to be executed, animated her to become the Catholic Church’s most outspoken advocate for death penalty abolition. This new Graphic Edition engages readers of all ages to examine what true justice and mercy look like, and the need to abolish the death penalty in the United States.
