Publisher's Synopsis

In this continuing spin-off from his award-winning masterpiece Epileptic, David B. once again focuses on his relationship with his ailing brother, but delves deeper into their fantasy life and obsession with war and history. In this second volume, David discovers odd metaphorical parallels between his childhood fascination with the Papuan Wars and his brother's struggle with epilepsy. Printed on high-quality paper in vivid duotone with a full-colour jacket, this is a unique and affordable package.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
