NBM presents in August a new Patrick (Yellow Jar) Atangan book as well as the 3rd Dungeon graphic novel!
Songs of Our Ancestors, Vol.3:
THE TREE OF LOVE
Patrick ATANGAN
In the next volume of Patrick (Yellow Jar) Atangan's Asian folktale collection, Tree of Love celebrates India's tradition of elevating romance to a work of art. Atangan adapts Rajput polyptych paintings of northern India and transforms them into a unique and poetic comic experience. Tree of Love follows a prince's courtship of a flower peddler. The young prince is surprised by the difficulty in proving the worthiness of what everyone sees as a common woman. But she has a secret, a special gift bound in the beauty and power of nature.
Each page faithfully ornaments Tree of Love's painfully universal story about the intricacies of love.
8 ½ x 6 ½", 48pp., full color hardcover: $12.95, ISBN 1-56163-438-7
Here's what they had to say about Silk Tapestry, Atangan's previous volume:
"Highly recommended." -Library Journal
"I'll be the first to admit that I absolutely adored Patrick Atangan's THE YELLOW JAR a year and a half ago. Telling Japanese folk tales in a beautifully appropriate art style, it was one of the sharpest looking books on the market at the end of 2002, and the idea of a second book of stories tackling Chinese stories just makes me want to jump up and down and squeal with delight. Come, squeal with me." -Greg McElhatton, 9th Art
"I shall just say this: Silk Tapestry is a masterpiece." -Still on the shelf.com
DUNGEON The Early Years, vol.1: The Night Shirt
Christophe BLAIN*Joann SFAR*Lewis TRONDHEIM
We start on another tangent of the vast world of Dungeon, one that relates the origins of it. In this first story of the Early Years, you will see the Keeper barely an adult and leaving his family to go find fortune in a time of chaos and darkness... Blain (Isaac the Pirate, The Speed Abater) illustrates on a story by Trondheim and Sfar.
Fun, adventure, suspense and... wry satire. The first volume has already sold out of its first printing!
6 ½ x 9", 96pp. full color trade pb., $14.95, ISBN 1-56163-439-5
Raves continue to flow in for this great series:
"It's one of the best comedy / adventure comics in print, filled with amusing characters, great visual imagination and involving stories. You should let it take you away on the back of a hipplodontus." -Time.comix
"Trondheim is a master at presenting a rich, detailed world, while maintaining a light atmosphere. The book has an overall epic feel, yet grounds itself with a very personable feel when necessary. The coloring is vibrant and lush, and complements the grandiose backgrounds. A truly unique enjoyable book." -Buzzscope.com
BONEYARD #19
Richard MOORE
Despite Abbey's best efforts, people are still dying at Camp Waterlake. To make matters worse, Paris stops by to "help", just as Abbey tracks down the killer. It's the biggest battle of her life, and all Paris can do is watch as the supernatural psycho tosses Abbey around like a doll. Evil and power tools--never a good combination.
