Combining rich storytelling with vibrant artwork, it reveals new plot twists and deepens the beloved saga’s emotional impact, making it a compelling read for both longtime fans and graphic novel newcomers. ## Description Diana Gabaldon’s brilliant storytelling has captivated millions of readers in her bestselling and award-winning Outlander saga. Now, in her first-ever graphic novel, Gabaldon gives readers a fresh look at the events of the original Outlander: Jamie Fraser’s side of the story, gorgeously rendered by artist Hoang Nguyen. After too long an absence, Jamie Fraser is coming home to Scotland—but not without great trepidation. Though his beloved godfather, Murtagh, promised Jamie’s late parents he’d watch over their brash son, making good on that vow will be no easy task. There’s already a fat bounty on the young exile’s head, courtesy of Captain Black Jack Randall, the sadistic British officer who’s crossed paths—and swords—with Jamie in the past. And in the court of the mighty MacKenzie clan, Jamie is a pawn in the power struggle between his uncles: aging chieftain Colum, who demands his nephew’s loyalty—or his life—and Dougal, war chieftain of Clan MacKenzie, who’d sooner see Jamie put to the sword than anointed Colum’s heir. And then there is Claire Randall—mysterious, beautiful, and strong-willed, who appears in Jamie’s life to stir his compassion . . . and arouse his desire. But even as Jamie’s heart draws him to Claire, Murtagh is certain she’s been sent by the Old Ones, and Captain Randall accuses her of being a spy. Claire clearly has something to hide, though Jamie can’t believe she could pose him any danger. Still, he knows she is torn between two choices—a life with him, and whatever it is that draws her thoughts so often elsewhere. Step into the captivating, passionate, and suspenseful world of The Exile , and experience the storytelling magic of Diana Gabaldon as never before. Review: transported right back to Jamie & Claire's world - I am a long-time fan of Diana Gabaldon and her Outlander novels. I'm very casual fan of graphic novels, having read a few, but not all that many. When I first heard that Outlander was going to be "re-made" and released in graphic novel form, I was skeptical. However, as time passed and we received some sneak peeks at some of the illustrations via the author's blog and heard that there would be new twists to the storyline, I became more and more intrigued. All of that said, I took the plunge and bought The Exile. The illustrations by Hoang Nguyen are beautiful! His use of color and light, the depth and detail in each frame, and the facial expressions and body language of the characters added immensely to the story. In my limited experience with this genre, his attention to detail and his clear collaboration with the author really stood out when comparing The Exile to other graphic novels, which now look incredibly flat and somewhat lifeless. I'm sure that there will be criticisms of the artwork, but I felt that the overall effect was really stunning, and I had no trouble overlooking any inconsistencies from frame to frame. These are, after all, illustrations and are not meant to be photograph-like renderings or frame-captures from a movie. I think he was allowed some artistic license and used it to very good effect! As far as the story itself, the main twist is that this is told from Murtagh's point of view. Murtagh was Jamie's godfather. Essentially, this story related some of what went on behind Claire's back, whereas Outlander had been told entirely from Claire's point of view. I won't reveal any spoilers here, except to say that there are a number of revelations in this graphic novel that weren't in the original. As usual, Diana Gabaldon treated us to her trademark humor and deft storytelling, but did so this time in a format which is very uncharacteristically, and necessarily, brief. It was no less engaging, however, though perhaps not as completely satisfying for her big-book-readers as the depth and detail that come with her traditional releases. I think the reader does need to approach this new book with that in mind. To expect that a graphic novel, even one of this length, to encompass the same amount of detail as one of her regular books is simply unrealistic. Together, the storyline and the illustrations took me right back into the world of Jamie and Claire. As a long-time fan, that's all I ask for. I was thrilled to read some new twists on the tale, and I thought it was fun to experience the story in a different genre and to see it through different eyes. Approach this book with realistic expectations, and it won't disappoint. It's a fabulous addition to the collection! Review: Jamie & Claire - When I first purchased this book, it was the first graphic novel I had seen. Honestly, I was not impressed and didn’t even read it. At that time, I considered it very juvenile, and simplistic. Now here I am, years later, taking another look at it. I’ve just finished it and will admit to an appreciation of the wit & humor it contains. The years have brought us the Starz series of Outlander and that adaptation of the novels. So, my perspective has changed, and my opinion has as well. While my first love is the series of “Big Books”, I enjoy all of Diana’s writings, this one included. Try it, you might just find that you like it, also! ## Features - An Outlander Graphic novel by Diana Galbadon, illustrated by Hoang Nguyen - Lettering by Bill Tortillini ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #125,813 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #160 in Romance Graphic Novels (Books) #196 in Historical & Biographical Fiction Graphic Novels #639 in Fantasy Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 2,912 Reviews | ## Images ![The Exile: An Outlander Graphic Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dHYnKc38L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ transported right back to Jamie & Claire's world *by I***Y on September 25, 2010* I am a long-time fan of Diana Gabaldon and her Outlander novels.

Honestly, I was not impressed and didn’t even read it. At that time, I considered it very juvenile, and simplistic. Now here I am, years later, taking another look at it. I’ve just finished it and will admit to an appreciation of the wit & humor it contains. The years have brought us the Starz series of Outlander and that adaptation of the novels.

It maybe took me 20min to read, but cost me more than what any kindle book in the series cost (including the longest one by page count or even the latest release...#8). I'm not sure why Amazon has the cost still so high. I knew I wouldn't like the graphic novel/comic book format, but I bought because I'm reading the Outlander series and wanted some background info that it was supposed to include. One annoying thing was that every.single.woman was drawn with her breasts hanging out. Come on! While the dresses did tend to be low cut in the 18th century, they were not that ridiculous. Even Mrs. Fitzgibbons was drawn that way. This would be highly impractical for the main housekeeper to have her breasts hanging out so that only the nipple was covered. Also, this book wouldn't make sense to anyone who has not read Outlander first. It's too jumpy and the highlander characters are not distinctive enough to be able to tell them apart (Murtagh, Rupert, Kenneth, Jamie, Dougal...they all sort of look similar. Even close ups of Cullen are hard to distinguish...its only obvious when he's standing). For those who have read Outlander...this covers the first 1/3 of Outlander but does include a character that isn't in there (Kenneth...a time traveler whom Geilis knows). There's a line on the cover of this book that says that its from Jamie's perspective. Well, it is in the sense that you do see what is happening to him a few days before he meets Claire, you do get to read a few of his thoughts while he's with Claire (but not even close to enough in my opinion) and you do get to see what was happening to him while out with the Duke after Claire was arrested. So, this is useful. But, it amounts to probably only 10 pages of additional text to Outlander, if it were in a book. It was hardly worth the cost of the book for that amount of info. Also, since this is a comic book, it can't be in Jamie's 1st person POV (and frankly, by including the Kenneth subplot...we're taken away from Jamie's experience for a good 1/4 or more of the book). I would have much rather have read a novella written completely in Jamie's 1st person POV like we get to see Claire's in Outlander. Finally, I think this book was a strange marketing decision for the printers and DG. My only guess is that they were trying to entice comic book readers (or men) to get interested in the Outlander story. Unfortunately, these are two very different audiences. I have a hard time believing that someone who would love this book would also love to read a 1400 page in-depth novel like some of the other books in the series. Overall, this was bad..and not worth the money...and its only worth buying if you want something to keep in your Outlander collection (but not plan to really read). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/1704521-the-exile-an-outlander-graphic-novel](https://www.desertcart.it/products/1704521-the-exile-an-outlander-graphic-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
