Article: Books To Read: Best Graphic Novels August 2014
Posted: June 9, 2014
It’s not every month that we get a major new book by the amazing Jules Feiffer and his Kill My Mother is only one of a plethora of much-anticipated summer reading I am picking and previewing for you here. There are plenty of others I am looking forward to, including Nina Bunjevac’s powerful, exquisitely rendered Fatherland, and Emmanuel Guibert’s How The World Was (cover above), just about my favourite French graphic novel of 2012, translated at last.
The great news is that French genius Emmanuel Guibert, also creator of Alan’s War and The Photographer and other titles from FirstSecond, is coming over again to London. Thanks to the Institut Français he will take part in an exclusive Comica Conversation at The British Library, as well as demonstrating his astonishing virtuosity live in the Drawing Parade. It’s part of the Comica Festival weekend of August 15th, 16th and 17th, over the closing Friday to Sunday of the massive British comics exhibition Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK, which I have co-curated with John Harris Dunning. Details as ever on our sister site, Comica Festival! Read about all the rest of my recommendations here…
