Munch på engelsk!
Med Kvernelands skarpe tolkninger av Munchs liv og produksjon, hans
møysommelige arbeid med kilder og sitater, og ikke minst hans enestående
tegninger og varierte teknikker - og når hele serien nå er samlet under
ett - er det vanskelig å finne dekkende superlativer. Vi bøyer oss i
støvet og anbefaler uten forbehold: Les!
"Den biografiske tegneserien om Munch er noe av det morsomste og mest
lekne som noen gang er skrevet om kunstneren." - Elin Kittelsen, P2
"Steffen Kverneland er internasjonalt stor. Han er et geni i mine
øyne." - Jan Erik Vold, Dagsavisen
"Kverneland støtter seg mye på Munchs egne ord når dette fortelles,
og illustrerer dem med en sober eleganse som skaper flere bevegende
øyeblikk." - Ole Øyvind Sand Holth, Dagbladet

På toppen av Olympus holder Miracleman et øye over det utopiske
samfunn som oppstod etter Londons fall. Men er mennesker, guder og helter i
stand til å dele samfunn? Gaiman (Sandman) og Buckingham (Fables)
utforsker et univers som sakte faller fra hverandre.
Miracleman, som da gikk under navnet Marvelman, ble skapt i 1954 av
Mick Anglo, som et britisk motsvar til amerikanske Captain Marvel. Serien
gikk frem til 1963, og ble gjenopplivet i 1982 i en mørkere, postmoderne
utgave av Alan Moore, med senere bidrag av Neil Gaiman.
Denne utgivelsen inneholder Miracleman av Gaiman & Buckingham #1 -
#6.

"Though Doucet stopped drawing comics over ten years ago, here she
revisits the art form, pulling images from 1970s Italian fumetti, or
photonovels, to create her own collage comics. Using vintage women’s
and home decorating magazines, Doucet collages a unique dialogue of love
and travel between characters sitting in classic cars, driving through
cities and pristine countryside. This book is the first to combine
Doucet’s love of collage with her gift at comics storytelling. The
result is a collection of lighthearted stories that play upon the
disconnects between 1970s imagery and our modern world. Lost in
translation, the dialogue is stilted, the characters alien, the mood always
playful. Carpet Sweeper Tales is a
milestone in a career filled with milestone achievements. "

CHILDREN OF THE DEFEATED IN FRANCO'S FASCIST SPAIN
"Paracuellos is a work of
great courage, created at a time when telling the truth about Spain’s
political past could get one killed. Its publication precipitated constant
death threats from right-wing groups. Carlos Giménez’s
autobiographical account of the plight of children in post-World War II
Fascist Spain has won virtually every comics award in Europe, including
Best Album at the 1981 Angoulême Festival, and
Angoulême’s Heritage Award in 2010. In 2003 Giménez was
recognized with the Gold Medal in Fine Arts by Spain’s Ministry of
Culture.
In the late 1930s when Spanish fascists led by Franco, and
aided by Hitler and Mussolini, overthrew the elected government, almost
200,000 men and women fell in battle, were executed, or died in prison.
Their orphaned children - and others ripped from the homes of the defeated
- were shuttled from State- and Church-run “Home” to
“Home” and fed a steady diet of torture and disinformation by a
totalitarian state bent on making them “productive”
citizens.
Carlos Giménez was one of those children. In 1975,
after Franco’s death, Carlos began to tell his story. Breaking the
code of silence proved to be a milestone, both for the comics medium and
for a country coming to terms with its past.
Placing the comics in
historical perspective are illustrated essays by Carmen Moreno-Nuño,
Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Kentucky, and
Antonio Martin, the foremost historian of Spanish comics."

"A lone figure in a diving suit drags an enormous wooden ark through
the desert, scarring the earth with its deep furrow. A plane crashes. A
zeppelin prowls the azure skies, its crew seduced by caged women, while
Bedouins and soldiers clash under the blazing sun. This poetic tale
entrances as it pulls all these elements and characters together into a
haunting yet mesmerizing canvas."
