BARNDOM I MIDTØSTEN (1978-1984)
Gjennom barnets øyne får leseren her et tankevekkende innblikk i
møtet mellom ulike mennesker, kulturer og livssyn. Riad Sattoufs barndom
er skygget av tre diktatorer - Muammar Gaddafi, HAfez al-Assad - og Riads
egen far. I en særegen stil skildrer han en nomadisk barndomstilværelse i
Frankrike, Libya og Syria, der faren trekker sønnen og sin franske kone
med seg i jakten på den arabiske nasjonen - i god tro om at Paradis stadig
ligger rundt hjørnet.
Denne serien er blitt sammenlignet med både Maus og Persepolis, og
vant prisen for beste utgivelse under seriefestivalen i Angoulème.

"Wuvable Oaf is the
first-ever collection of the acclaimed self-published comic book series by
cartoonist Ed Luce. Oaf is a large, hirsute, scary-looking ex-wrestler who
lives in San Francisco with his adorable kitties and listens to a lot of
Morrissey. The book follows Oaf’s search for love in the big city,
especially his pursuit of Eiffel, the lead singer of the black
metal/queercore/ progressive disco grindcore band Ejaculoid.
Luce
weaves between the friends, associates, enemies, ex-lovers and pasts of
both men into the story of their courtship. A romantic comedy at its core,
Wuvable Oaf recalls elements of comics as diverse as Scott Pilgrim, Love and Rockets, and Archie, set against the background of San Francisco’s
queer community and music scene. "

"In 1980, Sylvie Rancourt and her boyfriend moved to Montreal from
rural Northern Quebec. With limited formal education or training, they had
a hard time finding employment, so Sylvie began dancing in strip clubs.
These experiences formed the backbone of the first Canadian
autobiographical comic book, Melody, which Rancourt wrote, drew, and distributed,
starting in 1985. Later, Rancourt collaborated with artist Jacques Boivin,
who translated and drew a new series of Melody comics for the American market – the comics
were an instant cult classic. The Rancourt drawn-and-written comics have
never before seen English publication. These stories are compelling without
ever being voyeuristic or self-pitying, and her drawings are formally
innovative while maintaining a refreshingly frank and engaging clarity.
With a knowing wink at the reader, Rancourt shares a world that, in someone
else’s writing, might be scandalous or seedy, but in hers is fully
realized, real, and often funny."

"In Poetry is Useless, Anders Nilsen redefines the sketchbook format,
intermingling elegant, densely detailed renderings of mythical animals,
short comics drawn in ink, meditations on religion, and abstract shapes and
patterns. Page after page gives way under Nilsen’s deft hatching and
perfectly placed pen strokes, revealing his intellectual curiosity and wry
outlook on life’s many surprises. Stick people debate the dubious
merits of economics. Immaculately stippled circles become looser and
looser, as craters appear on their surface. A series of portraits capture
the backs of friends’ heads. For ten or twenty pages at a time, Poetry is Useless becomes a travel
diary, in which Nilsen shares anecdotes about his voyages in Europe and
North America. A trip to Colombia for a comics festival is recounted in
carefully drawn city streets and sketches made in cafés.
Poetry is Useless reveals seven years of
Nilsen’s life and musings: beginning in 2007, it covers a substantial
period of his comics career to date, and includes visual reference to his
works, such as Dogs & Water,
Rage of Poseidon, and the New York
Times Notable Book Big Questions.
