Dash Shaw - The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D. HC
Preis: 18,95 Euro
One part MOME collection, one part authorized IFC Channel spinoff, the first quarter of this jacketed hardcover collects the work -- storyboards, scripts, character designs, etc. -- that Dash Shaw has created for a series of original shorts for IFC.com. The latter 3/4ths collect his acclaimed short comics from MOME, as well as several little-seen stories from elsewhere, and a new 20 page story. The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D. is Shaw's first book since his breakthrough graphic novel of 2008, Bottomless Belly Button, which was named Publishers Weekly's best graphic novel of 2008, one of Entertainment Weekly's top ten books of 2008, and one of Amazon.com's top ten graphic novels of the year, amongst numerous other accolades. The book also collects Shaw's acclaimed, genre-bending short stories from MOME, including "Look Forward, First Son of Terra Two," a remarkable story of two lovers traveling in opposite directions... in time. Also featured: "Galactic Funnels," the 2008 Ignatz Award nominee for "Outstanding Story," about the parasitic relationship between an artist and his lover/mentor; "Satellite CMYK," a sci-fi mindwarp that ingeniously drives the narrative through Shaw's masterful control of color, and "Making the Abyss," a fictionalized story of a surreal film set filled with nuclear tanks, hot tubs, and blind ambition. Befitting the restless experimentation and innovation of Shaw's work, this slim hardcover features a first for Fantagraphics: a clear acetate overlay dust jacket, meant to evoke an animation cel.
