BABEL #1
by David B.
This is the first installment of an exciting new oversized (with dustjacket) comic series by David B, a remarkable follow-up to his book Epileptic. A boy's world is shattered by his brother's epileptic seizures and his own growing awareness of turmoil in the world at large. Beyond the bewildered silence of grown-ups are images - tabloid crime photos, television reports of starvation in Biafra, the hieratic language of his brother's contorted body - that hold the promise of knowledge. In Babel, David B's stunning two-color artwork evokes an extraordinary range of influences, from the boldness of primitive art to the lyricism of Winsor McCay, and dreams, myth, and history merge with memory to weave a deeply poetic story about the sources of strength and vision.
