A Literary Icon, A Forbidden Love, A Life Rendered in Color, VIRGINIA WOOLF.

A Comixology Original Coming Soon From Mad Cave Studios
A Luminous Graphic Portrait of Genius, Desire, and the Cost of Feeling Too Deeply

Mad Cave Studios proudly presents the first-ever print edition of Virginia Woolf, the acclaimed Comixology original graphic novel by Liuba Gabriele. Adapted from the Italian release by Becco Giallo, this vivid portrait explores Woolf’s creative brilliance and her passionate, complicated relationship with Vita Sackville-West.

As part of Mad Cave’s latest English print releases, Virginia Woolf offers an emotional LGBTQIA-focused retelling of their semi-secret love affair, drawing from Woolf’s novels and the pair’s letters to capture the intensity of her inner world. With expressive colorwork and intimate storytelling, Gabriele brings striking depth to a relationship that helped shape one of literature’s most influential voices.

An emotional and vibrant retelling of the famous author’s passions and torments, as well as her ardent relationship with Vita Sackville-West.

Virginia Woolf ended her own life in March 1941, driven by the strength of her grief for the world entering another war. She was a woman full of turbulent emotions and desires, ones which brought her both great joy and suffering. Told through loose connections with some of Woolf’s most beloved novels and using quotations from letters written by Woolf and Sackville-West, this graphic novel brings color and texture to this semi-secret love affair and boldly renders the waves and lulls of Woolf’s extraordinary mind.

Mad Cave Studios Editor, Sarah Brunstad, said, “I love this book, and so will anyone who has also had their life changed by a Virginia Woolf novel. Liuba Gabriele’s sparse text often pulls directly from Woolf’s personal writings, and paired with her wildly expressive colors, the result is a thoughtful and intimate view into the life of a woman who changed the world with the power of her pen.”

Perfect for admirers of literary biography, readers of Woolf’s work, educators, librarians, and anyone drawn to intimate, emotionally rich graphic storytelling.

Virginia Woolf is a 128-page paperback graphic novel that arrives May 26, 2026. Preorders are now open through local comic shops, booksellers, and Mad Cave Studios.
