LUNATIC Recommended. By Dan Mazur. Lunatic is an unusual and striking graphic novel in the tradition of wordless books by the likes of Frans Masereel and Lynd Ward. The word "lunatic" derives from Latin, meaning "of the moon" or "moonstruck," and in this sense it describes the protagonist of this story: from infancy she develops a magical, almost intimate relationship with the moon itself and it acts as her friend, lover, and mentor. She is a dreamer, an outsider, and she's going to get herself to the moon!! Part fable, part classic adventure in the tradition of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Fanfare, 2021. Out of print....More. Item Code: LUNAT Hard Cover, 7x9, 200pg, b&w |

BIX By Scott Chantler "A marvel of imaginative illustrative narration. ". Highly Recommended. From the acclaimed Eisner Award”“nominated creator of Two Generals and Northwest Passage comes a gorgeous and spare illustrated exploration of the rapid rise and tragic fall of 1920s legendary jazz soloist Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke. Told in stunning illustrations, at least five per page, like a daily comic strip. But this is a near-wordless graphic novel — it reminds us of Krigstein's famous "Master Race," it is so cinematic and beautifully paced. Bix was the most innovative jazz soloist of the 1920s after Louis Armstrong, but his life was tragic. Gallery 13, 2020....More. Item Code: BIXH Hard Cover, 10x7, 256pg, Tritone |
