Publisher's Synopsis

Long a superstar in his native Italy, Lorenzo Mattotti has made sporadic incursions into the US via appearances in RAW magazine, the classic Fires graphic novel and the more recent 2003 Eiser-winning Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde adaptation from NBM. Chimera, with its intricate, hyper-expressive swirls of crisp line work shows that Mattotti's genius is bound by no single technique. A wordless fantasia of birth, death, gods, monsters and humans, Chimera is the most astonishing visual narrative readers are likely to see.

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.
