First Second (:01) is a primo arty comix imprint that just gets better and better. Recently I've read and enjoyed the cleverly meta The Fate of the Artist, the utterly charming The Professor's Daughter, Malaysian cartoonist Lat's Kampung Boy, a peek into another world (I see the second one is out now), and the almost unbearably moving Laika. Now comes Cyril Pedrosa's exquisite Three Shadows, featuring richly detailed and expressive line drawings and a thrilling, poignant tale of magic and loss. Check 'em all out!
Your word is good enough for me. Went and bought The Fate of the Artist and Three Shadows from Amazon. Now, all I need to do is wait for few weeks.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it. Don't miss Laika though, especially if you love dogs.
