For those who missed it in its original PEOW edition, the fine folks at D & Q have come to the rescue with this spiffy new French-flapped edition. Whew!
Michael DeForge sez: "Nobody's doing space and time the way Freddy Carrasco does space and time. Love a comic that trusts you'll be able to keep up with it."
Here's our review of the original edition:
We finally got our hands on some copies of the latest work by the award-winning, Japan-based, afrofuturist comics maker, Freddy Carrasco. GLEEM presents a series of linked stories over the course of 200+ pages of mostly black and white comics – but with some nice color work included for good measure. Carrasco's composition, linework and black placement really come together, resulting in page after page of exciting, visually satisfying comics. Another beautifully produced softcover edition from PEOW, complete with dustjacket.
Comics conoisseurs jonesing for some quality linearity may find what they're looking for here. Freddy Carrasco delivers the goods with a style that – without necessarily imputing any influences – shares qualities with Taiyo Matsumoto, Alex Toth, José Muñoz, Paul Pope, Brandon Graham, Ronald Wimberly and even a dash of Frank Miller.
