The Dead Cartoonist: A Comics Mystery
商品資訊
商品簡介
Great comic strips sometimes come from earnest but neurotic philosophers (Charles M. Schulz, Peanuts) or seething monsters (Al Capp, L'il Abner). But the creators are seldom seen or talked about by their readers. Read it, chuckle, don't, move on to the next Skittle in your day. "The Dead Cartoonist" is fabulously successful but emotionally disturbed comic strip creator Milton Morey. Or maybe it's Nate Thurringer, whose quirky strip barely rates a blip in the comics world.
By a stroke of chance, Nate is present when Morey's family finds out he has been kidnapped. Nate, accompanied by Morey's Romanian lover, Crina Vraca, sets off on a rescue mission from the suburbs of America to the French Riviera, across Spain and finally to Hollywood. The story winds through madness, a fake kidnapping, extortion, family drama, love on the run, a real kidnapping, cynical manipulation, and heartfelt longing. Oh, and comedy bits on almost every page, and enough comics memes and references to fill a Comic-Con roundtable. This is a graphic novel with no pictures. Readers are free to create the images described in the text in whatever style they like.
