"Skär upp, titta ner och gräv djupare. En hel värld väntar därnere.

Var det Gud som skapade universum, eller Djävulen? Visste ni att ångorna från spansk tjurskinka framkallar de vackraste tårarna som finns? Och vad pågår i djurens själsliv? I Kirurgi skär serietecknaren Fabian Göranson upp och dissekerar sin värld av lögner, osanningar och faktafel. Han får oss att virda oss av skratt och samtidigt skrämt kika över axeln. Genom svart humor och magisk realism återspeglas vårt eget inre, det som vi kanske inte alltid vill se." -Galago

“Every once in a while, moral panic, innuendo, and fear bubble up from the depths of our culture to create waves of destructive indignation and accusation. David Hajdu's fascinating new book tracks one of the stranger and most significant of these episodes, now forgotten, with exactness, clarity, and serious wit, which is the best kind. He illuminates the lives of his protagonists - from pompous, on-the-make censors to cracked comic book geniuses - with his own graphic powers, as well as his intense intellectual curiosity. The book is a rarity, vividly depicting a noirish 1950's America but without a trace of irony or nostalgia.” -Sean Wilentz, Professor of History, Princeton University

"Ariel Schrag captures the American high school experience in all its awkward, questioning glory in Awkward and Definition, the first of three amazingly honest autobiographical graphic novels about her teenage years. During the summer following each year at Berkeley High School in California, Ariel wrote a comic book about her experiences, which she would then photocopy and sell around school. Some friends thrilled to see themselves in the comic, others not so much, but everyone was interested. Awkward chronicles Ariel's freshman year, and Definition, her sophomore year. With anxiety in excess and frustration to the fullest, Ariel dives in -- meeting new people, going to concerts, crushing out, loving chemistry, drawing comics, and obsessing over everything from glitter-laden girls to ionic charges and the constant pursuit of the number-one score." -Touchstone

"Med sine 284 sider med originaltegninger, hvor det kombineres elementer fra bildebøker, grafiske romaner og film, bryter Brian Selznick opp den gamle romanformen og skaper en helt ny leseopplevelse. Dette er en imponerende, filmatisk styrkeoppvisning fra en dristig og oppfinnsom historieforteller, tegner og bokdesigner." -Damm
