GRAPHIC NOVEL – ENG
Basquiat€19,99Cool, talented, and transgressive, Jean-Michel Basquiat's life is just as fascinating as the work he produced. Delve into 1980s New York as this vivid graphic novel takes you on Basquiat's journey from street-art legend Samo to international art-scene darling, up until his sudden death. Told through cinematic scenes, this is Basquiat as seen through the eyes of those who knew him, including his father, Suzanne Mallouk, Larry Gagosian, and, most importantly, the man himself.
Basquiat is a moving depiction of a troubled artist's life for those interested in both the art and the man who made it. Paolo Parisi did an amazing job.This graphic novel tells briefly the life of the artist Basquiat throughout illustrations with bright and clashing colours.
Big Questions€44,95A haunting postmodern fable, Big Questions details the metaphysical quandaries of the occupants of an endless plain, existing somewhere between a dream and a Russian steppe. A downed plane is thought to be a bird and the unexploded bomb that came from it is mistaken for a giant egg by the group of birds whose lives the story follows. Nilsen seamlessly moves from humor to heartbreak. Rather than lending its world meaning, Nilsen's parable lets the questions wander where they will. Immensely beautiful minimal artwork. Romantic landscapes combined with the harsh of natural life. This is a book to cherish… Highly recommended@De Stripkever!

As we inhabit the heads of several key characters some kids who have it, some who don’t, some who are about to get it , what unfolds isn’t the expected battle to fight the plague, or bring heightened awareness to it , or even to treat it. What we become witness to instead is a fascinating and eerie portrait of the nature of high school alienation itself the savagery, the cruelty, the relentless anxiety and ennui, the longing for escape. And then the murders start.As hypnotically beautiful as it is horrifying. Black Hole transcends its genre by deftly exploring a specific American cultural moment in flux and the kids who are caught in it, back when it wasn’t exactly cool to be a hippie anymore! Horrific and beautiful in the same time. Charles Burns drawings are a unique masterwork!
Blossoms in autumn€24,99Ulysses is a 59-year-old widower who, since retiring, has been in the grip of loneliness. The former moving man is without direction or purpose.

Grass€29,95Beginning in Lee’s childhood, Grass shows the lead-up to the war from a child’s vulnerable perspective, detailing how one person experienced the Japanese occupation and the widespread suffering it entailed for ordinary Koreans. Keum Suk Gendry-Kim emphasizes Lee’s strength in overcoming the many forms of adversity she experienced. Grass is painted in a black ink that flows with lavish details of the beautiful fields and farmland of Korea and uses heavy brushwork on the somber interiors of Lee’s memories. Grass is a powerful antiwar graphic novel, telling the life story of a Korean girl named Okseon Lee who was forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War a disputed chapter in twentieth-century Asian history. Incredibly powerful. Very painful to read. Beautifully done.
Habibi€40,00Habibi is a deeply romantic story that explores and celebrates the beauty and cruelty, the complexity and depths of the Islamic world. Set in a mythical Middle East, at once contemporary and timeless, Habibi is a parable about our relationship to the natural world and the common heritage of Christianity and Islam. The magic of storytelling allows us to see the fragility embedded in cruelty, to understand how beauty can preserve us from destruction and how love can save us from loss of hope. Intellectual, emotional, philosophical, religious, existential feelings. One of the most intelligent graphic novels. Craig Thompson is a mastermind, and De Stripkever can't wait to pick up more of his brilliant creations.
Hostage€29,95In the middle of the night in 1997, Doctors Without Borders administrator Christophe André was kidnapped by armed men and taken away to an unknown destination in the Caucasus region. For three months, André was kept handcuffed in solitary confinement, with little to survive on and almost no contact with the outside world. This is a book that attests to the power of one man's determination in the face of a hopeless situation. Marking a departure from the author's celebrated first-person travelogues, Delisle tells the story through the perspective of the titular captive, who strives to keep his mind alert as desperation starts to set in.

An indelible portrait of an ordinary person facing a frightening ordeal. Harrowing and beautiful... I've felt haunted by the book since I finished it! A modern master of the travelogue with a surge of blood-pumping adrenaline.

This astonishing retelling of our century’s grisliest news is a story of survival, not only of Vladek but of the children who survive even the survivors. Maus studies the bloody pawprints of history and tracks its meaning for all of us. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust. A timeless document ideal for students and teachers, to never forget this dark spot of history! Highly recommended@De Stripkever!

Rusty Brown – ENG€35,00Rusty Brown is a fully interactive, full-color articulation of the time-space interrelationships of three complete consciousnesses in the first half of a single midwestern American day and the tiny piece of human grit about which they involuntarily orbit. A sprawling, special snowflake accumulation of the biggest themes and the smallest moments of life, Rusty Brown literately and literally aims at nothing less than the coalescence of one half of all of existence into a single museum-quality picture story, expertly arranged to present the most convincingly ineffable and empathetic illusion of experience for both life-curious readers and traditional fans of standard reality. From childhood to old age, no frozen plotline is left unthawed in the entangled stories of a child who awakens without superpowers, a teen who matures into a paternal despot, a father who stores his emotional regrets on the surface of Mars and a late-middle-aged woman who seeks the love of only one other person on planet Earth. Epic in scope and length, exhibiting astonishing technical skill. Humor and empathy, largely focused on the grimly sad lives of every day people. A new work from Chris Ware is always an event.

She declares that her telepathic abilities can parse the signal a warning of some kind. Initially skeptical, Raniero’s curiosity and attraction grows.

The Rough Pearl€22,99Adam Kline is an aspiring digital artist stuck in a thankless university adjunct position, married to an ambitious woman sick of supporting his pipe dreams, and is completely ignored by the New York art scene. Miraculously, though, his fortunes seem to be turning around. However, there's just one problem, his mysterious medical condition keeps blacking him out at the most inopportune times, and slowly blurs his perceptions of reality and fantasy. And, if that wasn't enough, he has to content with eerie, pitch-black void, flesh-eating zombies, and a vast, secret network of bug-eyed, bald-headed aliens.
The Sea€19,99A fisherman's life traversing the ocean is full of danger and surprise, but even the most experienced seafarer would not be ready to pull up their net after they've caught a newborn baby and a talking fish! Thus begins a story full of expressive pencil drawings, provocative symbolism, and a madness that doesn't just bubble beneath the surface of the water, but drenches the sailor-and the reader-like a tidal wave. Depicted in distinctive, and often grotesque, graphite, these unlikely shipmates trek through the thick fog, provoked by nature's powerful siren song and perhaps something even more sinister. Revelations arise about the sailor's perplexing childhood and the dubious birth of the mysterious baby as waves violently crash against the ship, already in a descent toward absurdity. Villadsen's first foray into the American literary scene is ultimately about the end of one life, the beginning of another, and a man, literally and figuratively, lost at sea. The story of a sailor that is playfully creepy and oddly beautiful.

One of the local teens, just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy, is caught up in something bad. It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other. The story is bittersweet, powerful, charming, and sad. A coming of age young adult gorgeous graphic novel dealing with real issues.
Two Dead€19,99After World War II, tensions rise in a Southern city ruled by organized crime, touching countless residents as they struggle to make sense of the new world. A sudden act of violence sets off a series of bloody events between the police and mafia as they lash out against one another. As the violence worsens, desperation grows to stop it, by any means necessary. Told in multiple perspectives, from a seemingly untouchable mafia don, to a gun-happy seasoned detective succumbing to the depths of his schizophrenia, to a newly minted police lieutenant haunted by his recent service in the war, and two African-American brothers, one mired in corruption and the other leading a local militia in an effort to see that justice is served.

Nate Powell is a mindblowing and fantastic comic artist and his stories and art will take you down for a ride. Highly recommended @De Stripkever.
We served the people€24,99We served the people!

Burrell tells her mother’s stories of perseverance and determination during her forced “rustification” to rural China amidst the decade-long Cultural Revolution, and her striving to make up for lost time in the years afterwards.
