In The Flesh TP

Description

"This collection of short stories in graphic form introduces us to one of the most powerful new voices in comics: Koren Shadmi. In the Flesh feels like a collaboration between David Cronenberg and Daniel Clowes. Shadmi uses darkly poetic and rich, absurdist imagery to take us into the dangerous heart of romantic love. In ""Antoinette,"" a young man becomes obsessed with the girl of his dreams. In ""Hunger,"" a near-death experience takes away a woman's will to live and love — but awakens in her a dark and insatiable appetite. In ""Radioactive Girl"" a student is destroyed by his love for a young woman whose powerful allure is literally nuclear. In these stories and more, Shadmi has created a haunting gallery of lost souls."
