![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry to disappoint those who thought its title, Rubber Blanket, was some kinky sex reference, when it is actually a term in litho printing for the solid roller which picks up the inked image before transferring it onto the paper. This review by Paul Gravett includes some artwork from the book and substantial info on Mazzucchelli: Maybe if I knew more about the book and artist…. The reviews are already raving here’s a few to get you started: Paul Gravett: This is probably the single must-read on the book, with a history of Mazzucchelli’s comics and Gravett’s usual insightful analysis.įrom the advance colour photocopies I’ve been privileged to read, Mazzucchelli has really thrown down the gauntlet here and produced something extraordinary, something which he wants readers to come to as fresh and unprepared as possible. Mazzucchelli has decided not to do any press for the book, preferring to let his work speak for itself…and it speaks eloquently. Over a decade in the making, and crafted with attention to every detail by one of the medium’s most nuanced storytellers, it’s a book that not only invites this level of scrutiny but lives up to it…and delivers more than you expected. Today is a pretty epic Wednesday at the comics shops, not just because of WEDNESDAY COMICS, but because of the debut of one of the most eagerly awaited graphic novels of recent times, David Mazzucchelli’s ASTERIOS POLYP. ![]()
