Parodying classic works of literature in the style of vintage comics, a whimsical anthology includes 'Blond Eve,' in which Dagwood and Blondie are ejected from Eden; Dorian Gray reimagined as a foppish Winsor McCay character; and a chain-smoking Golden Age Superman.

R. Sikoryak is an animator, illustrator, and cartoonist living in New York with his wife. He is in the speakers program of the New York Council of the Humanities and teaches in the illustration department at Parsons School of Design.
Masterpiece Comics adapts a variety of classic literary works with the most iconic visual idioms of twentieth-century comics. Dense with exclamation marks and lurid zip-a-tone, R. Sikoryak's parodies remind us of the sensational excesses of the canon, or, if you prefer, of the economical expressiveness of classic comics from Superman to Peanuts. Sikoryak's classics have appeared in landmark anthologies such as Raw and Drawn & Quarterly, all of which are collected here, along with brilliant new satires.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition: August 2009, 1st printing. 65 oversized (9 1/4" x 12 1/8") pages. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread/unmarked, in AS NEW condition. "This slim but densely sly volume collects, at long last, 20 years of Sikoryak's classic lit/classic comics mashups. Blondie and Dagwood act out Genesis in Blonde Eve; Garfield tempts Jon into a deal with the devil in Mephistofield; and Batman turns into Raskol for a reworking of Crime and Punishment. What could be simple parody in other hands is elevated to multileveled artistry by Sikoryak's uncanny ability to mimic the line of artists from Winsor McCay through Jack Davis to Charles Schulz. He goes far beyond mere imitation to eerily inhabit the artistic sensibilities of a dozen cartoonists; the result is as funny as it is impressive. These retellings linger on the philosophical underpinnings of such tales; coupled with the allusions and baggage of these familiar cartoon characters, the crossovers take on a life of their own to become legitimate adaptations. For instance, Little Pearl in Red Letter Day features Marjorie Henderson Buell/John Stanley's Little Lulu characters in a note for note retelling of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, contrasting the grim Puritan narrative with the animated expressions of the Buell/Stanley originals to cast the sin-obsessed settlers into even sharper relief. Readers who pick this up for the well-deserved laughter will get a bonus with the thoughtful metaphors."--Publishers Weekly. "A brilliant parable about literature, history and what telling stories tells us about ourselves."--Toronto Star. "Disconcerting and fascinating . . . A canny fusion of overlapping fictional legacies."--Globe and Mail. Pristine oversized hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, no jacket as issued. Artikel-Nr. RUB2840
