THE MAN FROM HARLEM; 1987 Catalan Cartoon Book by Guido Crepax HC--Great Gift!

Description: THE MAN FROM HARLEM 1987 Catalan Cartoon Book by Guido Crepax HC Great Gift Idea! Up for bid is the following: 1 – hard-cover: THE MAN FROM HARLEM; 1987 Catalan Cartoon Book by Guido Crepax HC. When it comes to English language translations Guido Crepax very much fell out of fashion after a mid-1980s heyday. Leaving aside the matter of a considerable erotic output presenting restricted opportunities in English, it’s easy to see why, as his strength is also his weakness. Simply put his art is utterly unique and instantly recognizable, his influences seemingly drawn from fine art, rather than previous comics material. His characters are expressionistic, viewing the world through heavy-lidded eyes, and created via loose, ragged lines. They wear their crumpled clothes, slouch and sulk, and are very rarely seen directly facing the reader. In a market that’s taken an age to move beyond an almost exclusive focus on superheroes, Crepax remains a distinctive oddity. Publisher: Catalan Communications; New York. Date Published: First Printing May, 1987; & Copyright Date: English Language Edition ©1987.
