Mome Volume 5: Fall 2006: Summer 2006 (MOME GN, Band 5) - Softcover

Mome Fall 2006

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The fifth volume of the acclaimed quarterly comics anthology. This acclaimed, reasonably priced, quarterly anthology runs approximately 120 pages per volume and spotlights a regular cast of a dozen of today's most exciting cartoonists. 'Mome' is quickly earning a reputation as the premiere literary anthology in comics. Think of something like 'The Believer' or 'Granta'--especially in regard to iconic design, format, and content--but with comics. The fifth volume of 'Mome' includes the following: Tim Hensley ('Weird Tales of the Ramones') returns for the first time since the third volume with the first-installment of his first book-length story, titled 'Gropius,' which tells the story of teen millionaire Wally Gropius, who will be disinherited unless he marries the saddest girl on earth; Martin Cendreda depicts a mostly wordless, surreal adventure starring three peculiar musicians, and what happens when they get together to make music; Kurt Wolfgang delivers 'Nothing Eve.,' a story about the day before the end of the world; David Heatley ('Deadpan, McSweeney's') contributes several short 'portrait comics'; Paul Hornschemeier continues 'Life with Mr. Dangerous,' a full-color narrative about a young woman who struggles to define a life outside of the example her mother provides, spending far too much time watching a cartoon called 'Mr. Dangerous'; Andrice Arp ('Hi-Horse') contributes another retelling of ancient Japanese fairy tales in a lovely two-color format. The issue also features an interview with Anrice Arp, conducted by Gary Groth, and new work by Anders Nilsen (in full-color), Jeffrey Brown (of 'Clumsy, Big Head!,' and 'McSweeney's' fame), Gabrielle Bell ('Scheherazade'), Jonathan Bennett ('Esoteric Tales'), and Sophie Crumb ('Belly Button Comix').
