The just arrived issue of PW Comics Week has a nice preview of CELLULOID, Dave McKean’s first graphic novel since CAGES. You’d think an undertaking of this sort might have gotten a little more hoopla. Perhaps when people start looking at the art, it will
CELLULOID is described as a “pornographic work of art” about a man, a woman and a porn film that all intersect. It’s out from Fantagraphics next month.
“Cages” is one of my top ten favorite graphic novels. Really, really looking forward to this one.
I’ve got the hardcover of Cages, but what about Pictures That Tick? Wasn’t that his last one? Whatever. He’s one of today’s best artists.
I admire the heck out of McKean’s work, but to me this sounds quite similar to Reed Waller’s Tumbling Boxes, at least in basic narrative.
i would like some more in depth PR than “like Cages with porn”
I can’t wait to masturbate to those images.
