David Small

Stitches: A Memoir HC

Preis 22,95 Euro

The prize-winning children’s author depicts a childhood from hell in this searing yet redemptive graphic memoir.

One day David Small awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he had been transformed into a virtual mute.

 A vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot, the fourteen-year-old boy had not been told that he had throat cancer and was expected to die. Small, a prize-winning children’s author, re-creates a life story that might have been imagined by Kafka. Readers will be riveted by his journey from speechless victim, subjected to X-rays by his radiologist father and scolded by his withholding and tormented mother, to his decision to flee his home at sixteen with nothing more than dreams of becoming an artist. Recalling Running with Scissors with its ability to evoke the trauma of a childhood lost, Stitches will transform adolescent and adult readers alike with its deeply liberating vision.

Paul Hornschemeier

All and Sundry: Uncollected Works HC

Preis 26,95 Euro

All and Sundry corrals critically- acclaimed author and artist Paul Hornschemeier's work from the last five years -- work previously ungathered, and in many cases never before seen in print. These works span the globe, from periodicals to museums, including: conceptual drawings and comics of Ulysses S. Grant created for an exhibit in Paris; an a

ward- winning cover exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; the 17-part serialized tale of divine intervention, non-linearity, and social webs, "Huge Suit Visits the People"; and comic strips for The Wall Street Journal and CNN featuring the unlikely cartoon protagonists of Michael Jackson, Sylvester Stallone as Rambo, and the ?gray fox,? Anderson Cooper. Plus covers and designs from multiple foreign editions of Paul's books; recent album art; a collaboration with Michael Kupperman; short, illustrated prose (thus far seen only in the pages of the anthology Mome); and extensive selections from sketches and sketchbooks, providing an unusual glimpse at the chaotic world of Hornschemeier's work. All and Sundry, perhaps more than any previous collection of Hornschemeier's work, demonstrates the variety and depth of the artist's interests and pursuits, and invites an examination of the entirety of his process, from first fevered scrawl to final, pristine brush line. Hardcover, mostly color. "Hornschemeier doesn't simply push the panel edges of the comics medium; he designs entirely off the page, encouraging other creators to join him over the horizon." -Chicago Tribune

David Mazzucchelli

Asterios Polyp HC

Preis 26,95 Euro

Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. He leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this “escape” really about? As the story shifts from present to past, the pieces of Polyp's life come together and we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she’s gone; what has happened to her? Mazzucchelli’s extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception becomes a masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.
