Renowned filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, known for his critically acclaimed works such as Pi and Requiem for a Dream, has joined forces with award-winning painter Kent Williams, famous for A Tale and Havok/Wolverine: Meltdown, to create a stunning and captivating graphic novel that serves as an insider's guide to Aronofsky's most ambitious film yet: The Fountain.

The Fountain is an epic odyssey that follows the thousand-year struggle of one man, Thomas, as he desperately tries to save the woman he loves. The story unfolds across three distinct eras: as a 16th-century conquistador facing off against a fierce Mayan army, as a present-day scientist searching for a cure for his wife's terminal illness, and as a future explorer on a quest to unlock the mysteries of a dying star.

This grand love story is so vast that it transcends the boundaries of a single medium. Aronofsky's feature film, released by Warner Bros. Pictures and Regency Enterprises, stars Tony Award-winner Hugh Jackman and Oscar-winner Rachel Weisz in the lead roles.

The Fountain graphic novel serves as a companion to the film, offering a unique interpretation of the same story within the boundless world of comics. Williams' stunning artwork has already earned him an Eisner nomination for Best Painter. The graphic novel provides a fresh perspective on the film, creating the ultimate director's cut experience for fans of The Fountain.
