How Imagination and Technology Are Revolutionizing an Art Form

Reinventing Comics

Long before manga took the American comics market by storm, Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics, Making Comics) combined the best ideas from manga, alternative comics, and superheroes into Zot!—a frenetic and innovative exploration of comics' potential that helped set the stage for McCloud's later groundbreaking theoretical work. Zachary T. Paleozogt lives in "the far-flung future of 1965," a utopian Earth of world peace, robot butlers, and flying cars. Jenny Weaver lives in an imperfect world of disappointment and broken promises—the Earth we live in. Stepping across the portals to each other's worlds, Zot and Jenny's lives will never be the same again. Now, for the first time since its original publication more than twenty years ago, every one of McCloud's pages from the black and white series has been collected in this must-have commemorative edition for aficionados to treasure and new fans to discover. Includes never-before-seen artwork and extensive commentary by Scott McCloud

Understanding Comics

En mal d'inspiration, David Smith, jeune sculpteur torturé se voit proposer un pacte qui lui permettra de réaliser son rêve d'enfance : sculpter ce qu'il souhaite à mains nues. Mais rien n'est éternel et tout a un prix. En échange de sa vie, il aura deux cents jours pour créer son OEuvre. Et il va le payer encore plus cher : au lancement du compte à rebours, il rencontre le grand amour... De quoi ébranler toutes ses certitudes. Une interprétation moderne, implacable et poétique du mythe de Faust.

Le sculpteur

Çizgi Romanı Anlamak

David Smith è uno scultore. Ha appena compiuto ventisei anni, e forse il suo quarto d'ora di gloria è già passato. Solo al mondo, senza un soldo, senza un mecenate che creda in lui, David incontra un vecchio zio che gli propone un patto che non ammette esitazioni: duecento giorni in cui potrà scolpire la materia a mani nude come se fosse acqua, ma poi morirà. Chi è realmente Zio Harry? Come può David accettare serenamente la sua proposta? Quando la tecnica non è più un problema, l'ispirazione viene spontanea? Cos'è l'arte, cos'è l'amore, come si impara consapevolmente a morire? Il primo romanzo grafico di Scott McCloud è anche il suo capolavoro. "Lo scultore è il miglior romanzo grafico che abbia letto da molti anni a questa parte. Parla di arte, di amore e di perché non smettiamo di provarci. Vi spezzerà il cuore." --Neil Gaiman

Avec Réinventer la bande dessinée, il franchit une nouvelle étape en décrivant les douze révolutions en cours dans la création, la lecture et la perception de la BD.
