The obsession for HBO’s The Last of Us is spreading like a parasitic fungal outbreak—and we’ve got the cure: infectious books that will satisfy your cravings for more.


The Last of Us: American Dreams by Faith Erin Hicks and Neil Druckmann; Illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks

The prequel comics story to the beloved game from Naughty Dog, The Last of Us, which inspired the hit HBO series! Creative director Neil Druckmann teams with breakout comics star Faith Erin Hicks to present the story of thirteen-year-old Ellie’s life in a violent, post-pandemic world.

Nineteen years ago, a parasitic fungal outbreak killed the majority of the world’s population, forcing survivors into a handful of quarantine zones. Thirteen-year-old Ellie has grown up in this violent, post-pandemic world, and her disrespect for the military authority running her boarding school earns her new enemies, a new friend in fellow rebel Riley, and her first trip into the outside world.
