Three Paradoxes HC

Description

THE THREE PARADOXES is an intricate and complex autobiographical comic by one of the most talented and innovative young cartoonists today. The story begins with a story inside the story: the cartoon character Paul Hornschemeier is trying to finish a story called "Paul and the Magic Pencil." He isn't coming up with much and — abandoning the comic strip temporarily — Paul leaves with his camera in order to fulfill a promise to his girlfriend that he would take pictures of the places that affected him as a child. Each "chapter" of the story is drawn in a completely different style, with strikingly unique production and color themes, and yet, somehow, despite this non-linear progression, it all comes together as one story: a story questioning change, progress, and worth within the author's life.
