The graphic novel covers everything from Turing’s childhood to his death, and the combination of artwork and writing works well. The Imitation Game is a collaboration by Jim Ottaviani and Leland Purvis, who wrote and illustrated this graphic novel, respectively.

After the success of the film The Imitation Game, a new wave of interest was shown for mathematician Alan Turing.
