"Rui Tenreiro er tilbake med en utgivelse som framstår som en
internasjonal tegneseriebegivenhet. Som i Høytiden fra 2008
hentes inspirasjon både fra japansk og europeisk fortellertradisjon.
Historien inkluderer krabbekamper og lidenskapelig kjærlighet, og
forteller hvordan et mystisk mønster av et ansikt dukker opp på et
krabbeskall. Historien fortelles av den gamle mannen Ozioma til barnebarnet
Igwe. Rui Tenreiro har jobbet med Nedzus lykter i flere år, og
det er blitt hans grafisk mest helstøpte verk. Her videreutvikles og
raffineres det grafiske uttrykket fra hans tidligere utgivelser, og farger
og strek underbygger en magiske atmosfære.
Rui Tenreiro (f. 1979) er opprinnelig fra Mosambik og er utdannet som
illustratør i Sør Afrika, England og Stockholm.
Han bodde flere år i Oslo, og hans debutserie Trost handlet om en
illustratørs møte med Norge. Hans to neste utgivelser var
Høytiden (2008) og Museum (2010). Begge disse viser vei
mot Nedzus lykter som han har jobbet med fra Stockholm hvor han
nå bor."
Boken inneholder fortellingene Tora Torapa, Amuletten fra Niokolo-Koba og Elevin for stjernene fra Sprint-album nr. 17, 20 og 22.
Igjen er lykken en varm kanon, for nå er Blåjakkene tilbake i
Norge. Sist Blåjakkene så en norsk butikkhylle var i 1994 med
albumet Blå ballader. Nå har det danske forlaget Zoom
tatt opp hansken igjen sammen med butikkjeden Outland, og utgitt
en serie med bøker som samler uutgitte Blåjakkene-album.
Blåjakkene 2006-2008 samler albumene
Klappjakten, Stark i stinget og Skudd i
blinde.
"When you live in an ornamented world where your home is a museum of
1940s design, you don’t leave the house without a hat and tie, and your
wife owns a barber shop - which you designed - it’s hard to imagine
letting a documentary about you go to press without constructing an
exquisite package for it. In Seth’s Dominion, the National
Film Board documentary by filmmaker Luc Chamberland about the
acclaimed Canadian cartoonist, Seth has done just that.
Presented here as an innovative double-spined hardcover that opens in two
directions, one side opens with a photo essay narrating Seth’s life while
the other offers a generous sampling of Seth’s art: comics and sketchbook
pages, but also puppetry and New Yorker illustrations. Seth also
speaks to the experience of making the documentary through a comics diary,
constructed from rubber stamp images.
Between these two halves lies Seth’s Dominion, a masterly
portrait that mixes insightful biography with vivid animation in an artful
fusion of filmmaking techniques that perfectly captures Seth’s manifold
creative universe. From his melancholy reflections on childhood to his
descriptions of his creative habits, Seth narrates his own life story
enchantingly. With special features including two short animations and a
taping of Seth speaking at the Drawn & Quarterly bookstore,
Seth’s Dominion is a triumph.
Luc Chamberland is a Montreal-based animator and director. After graduating
from Concordia University, Luc embarked on a nomadic career that
eventually landed him in London, where he created animation for several
feature films, including Steven Spielberg’s We’re Back! A
Dinosaur’s Story. He was also director of animation on the
Dreamworks feature Joseph: King of Dreams. Seth’s
Dominion is the first film that Luc has directed and animated for the
NFB. "
"A serial killer haunts the city streets, a stalker of isolated women who leaves a Santa Claus hat at the scene of his crimes. Pavel, a Russian émigré, assists the police investigation as a sketch artist. But Pavel's true calling is as a tattoo artist, and the so-called Bad Santa killings conjure up memories of the nightmarish world in which he learned his craft: a Russian prison camp that shattered his childhood and destroyed his family. Shifting between the living hell of a 1940s Siberian gulag and the crime-ridden chaos of New York City during the 1970s, this graphic novel's stunning artwork provides an atmospheric backdrop to its tale of corruption, murder, and revenge."
"Amid the tenements and riverfronts of the Lower East Side, twin brothers Max and Morris rule the seedy streets as chieftains of a crew of thieves and hoodlums. Tensions rise when a rival gang encroaches upon their Sheriff Street territory, leading to a wave of violence that threatens to develop into an all-out war. The setting becomes even more explosive when a femme fatale enters the scene and tests the brothers' loyalty to each other."
En helt ny serie fra forfatteren bak Saga! Paper Girls begynner i 1988 idet fire 12-år gamle avisbud ved en tilfeldighet gjør vår tids viktigste oppdagelse. Paper Girls er et forstdasdrama som blander utenomverdslige, psykedeliske mysterier med nostalgi og barndommens siste dager.
"In 1976, a group of young men and women coalesced around a fledgling
magazine and the idea that comics could be art. In 2016, comics intended
for an adult readership are reviewed favorably in the New York
Times, enjoy panels devoted to them at Book Expo America, and
sell in bookstores comparable to prose efforts of similar weight and
intent. We Told You So - Comics as Art tells of Fantagraphics
Books’ key role in helping build and shape an art movement around a
discredited, ignored and fading expression of Americana the way insiders
share the saga with one another other: in anecdotal form, in the words of
the people who lived it and saw it happen.
Comics historian and critic Tom Spurgeon and Michael Dean assemble an
all-star cast of industry figures, critics, cartoonists, art objects,
curios and groundbreaking publications to bring you a detailed account of
Fantagraphics’ first 40 years. We Told You So is a
detailed catalog of the look of a cultural awakening. It’s a story that
includes appearances by Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Harlan Ellison, Jim
Shooter, Stan Lee, Daniel Clowes, Frank Miller, Peter Bagge, Jaime
Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez, Dave Sim, Steve Geppi, Todd McFarlane and
every other major figure in the arts or business end of modern comics. More
than a corporate history or a fond look back, We Told You So - Comics
as Art makes the warts and all case for Fantagraphics
Books’ position near the heart of the modern reclamation of the
comics art form."
"The creator of the greatest comic strip in history finally gets his due
- in an eye-opening biography that lays bare the truth about his art, his
heritage, and his life on America’s color line. A native of
nineteenth-century New Orleans, George Herriman came of age as an
illustrator, journalist, and cartoonist in the boomtown of Los Angeles and
the wild metropolis of New York. Appearing in the biggest newspapers of the
early twentieth century - including those owned by William Randolph Hearst
- Herriman’s Krazy Kat cartoons quickly propelled him to fame. Although
fitfully popular with readers of the period, his work has been widely
credited with elevating cartoons from daily amusements to anarchic art.
Herriman used his work to explore the human condition, creating a modernist
fantasia that was inspired by the landscapes he discovered in his travels -
from chaotic urban life to the Beckett - like desert vistas of the
Southwest.
Yet underlying his own life - and often emerging from the contours of his
very public art - was a very private secret: known as "the Greek" for his
swarthy complexion and curly hair, Herriman was actually African American,
born to a prominent Creole family that hid its racial identity in the
dangerous days of Reconstruction.
Drawing on exhaustive original research into Herriman’s family history,
interviews with surviving friends and family, and deep analysis of the
artist’s work and surviving written records, Michael Tisserand brings
this little-understood figure to vivid life, paying homage to a visionary
artist who helped shape modern culture. "
