Jaws at 50: Two Graphic Novels Revisit Its Nightmare Shoot
Two new bandes dessinées mark the film's half-century by retelling the troubled production, one following events chronologically, the other stepping into the young Steven Spielberg's shoes.
Steven Spielberg's Jaws turned fifty in 2025, and the anniversary has produced two graphic novels devoted to the making of the film rather than the film itself, according to Télérama.
Both albums take the notoriously difficult shoot as their subject. Télérama describes one as following a straightforward chronological account of the production, while the other adopts the point of view of Spielberg himself, then a young and largely untested director grappling with a mechanical shark that famously refused to cooperate.
The report does not name the two albums, their authors, illustrators or publishers, nor does it give a release date beyond situating them within the film's fiftieth-anniversary year.
