Publisher's Synopsis
by Kurt Wolfgang
Top Shelf is proud to present Kurt Wolfgang's self-published graphic novel, Where Hats Go. Most recognized for his mini comics Lowjinx #2: Understanding Minicomics and Lowjinx #3: The Big Rip-Off!, this time the Xeric grant and Ignatz award recipient, Kurt Wolfgang, has created a 160-page wordless masterpiece. In a city where the wind never ceases, a young boy loses his most prized possession to a mischievously swirling gust. From the windy streets to the punishing halls of elementary school, to the musty lair of a fortune telling gypsy, the boy presses on to find the elusive destination of his cherished cap - and finds much more. Combining a classic "cartoony" style with formal innovations, Kurt Wolfgang gently nudges the boundaries of the wordless novel in this imaginative, poetic and timeless tale of lost and found.
SC, 4x6, 160pg, b&w
