Sinossi

An unnamed man stumbles upon a flyer directing him to a suspicious medical facility that promises to ?fix? his eyesight. After he gets the operation, optical defects begin to emerge, along with a whole new set of concerns. Impressionable and easily alarmed, the man comes to suspect he has received much more than he paid for.Laser Eye Surgery is the first graphic novel by New York cartoonist Walker Tate. Far from an objective (or even accurate) depiction of the popular eyesight corrective procedure, this is an idiosyncratic and lopsided take on sight, paranoia, and the comics form. As the man?s vision continues to change in unforeseen ways, he plunges down a path of confusion and intrigue, no longer sure what to trust. Scams and cons appear to be everywhere, a cosmic swindle looms just out of view. Are the perceived dangers really present, or merely thought to be, and which is worse? Shifty and withholding, steeped in dread, Laser Eye Surgery is a comically unsettling rumination on perception and its trappings.

BREAD & WINE HC AN EROTIC TALE OF NEW YORK UPDATED EDITION

Written by black, gay science-fiction writer, professor, and theorist Samuel R. Delany, and drawn by multi-media artist and cartoonist Mia Wolff,?Bread & Wine?is a graphic autobiography that flashes back to the unlikely story of how Delany befriended Dennis, and how they became an enduring couple?Delany, a professor at Philadelphia?s Temple University, Dennis, an intelligent man living on the streets. For casual readers and fans,?Bread & Wine?is a moving, sexually charged love story, with visuals informed by Wolff?s sensitive portrayal of the couple?s physicality. Her black-and-white, pen-and-ink work not only expressionistically represents the characters? ?body language? and the bustling New York setting but is also filled with impish art references and visual puns. The scholarly potential for the book, based on the poem ?Bread and Wine? by the German lyric poet Friedrich Holderlin, not only encompasses queer, African American, and graphic novel studies, but also exploration in the literary and paraliterary academic fields.This updated edition includes a new foreword by the novelist Junot Diaz, the earlier edition?s introduction by Alan Moore, commentary by the book?s protagonists, Delany and Dennis, and a new interview with Delany and Wolff.

BREAKTHROUGH LIFE ON THE BRINK TP

Chris Fink has just awoken in the desert. Soaked, disoriented, the first person he sees is his own fictional character. What is reality? What does an eco-feminist movement from the future ? and a long-abandoned but never-forgotten indie comic, Leopold & Brink ? have to do with his predicament? From this SF framework emerges a metafictional memoir, as epic and intimate as life itself.?Embarking in earnest with the onset of the 2020 lockdowns, Fink?s years-long journey of graphic healing hit an unexpected detour when he received a brain cancer diagnosis midway through constructing this book. Not to be deterred, the tragedy and comedy of life become tools to break new liberative ground, a lifetime of drawing conjures fresh and playful visual expressions to compliment his stream of consciousness style. Vonnegut-esque slipstreams of memory weave together tumultuous youth, romantic misadventures, and the looping pathways of a working artist, in a tapestry of loss and longing. Buoyed by the ephemera of yesteryear, this is an ode to the comics, film, and TV that raised him, and the adults who didn?t.?A saga of catharsis and reconciliation, Breakthrough: Life on the Brink is a story to live by.
