In this modern
retelling of a classic commedia dell' arte legend of tomfoolery and hopeless,
fawning love, creators Neil Gaiman (Sandman) and John Bolton (Manbat: Batman)
update the relation of Harlequin and Columbine. A buffoon burdened with
a brimming heart, Harlequin chases his sensible, oblivious Columbine around
the streets of a city, having given his heart freely. Consumed with love,
the impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming
surprise to bend the tale in a modern direction. |
Gaiman's writing
is poetic and as loopy as the subject matter. Bolton's art, a combination
of digitally enhanced photo-realism and dynamic painting provides sensational
depth with bright characters over fittingly muted backgrounds. Those who
have spent Valentine's Day alone know that the cold February holiday can
be hard to swallow. Gaiman and Bolton want you to know that all it takes
is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup.Contains an additional
8-page backup feature written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by John Bolton
on the history of commedia dell' arte!
From the Publisher
Neil Gaiman is an acclaimed
novelist and writer of comics, short stories, screen and teleplays. He
wrote all 75 issues of DC's groundbreaking Sandman series, an epic meditation
on myths and storytelling. His other comics work includes Books of Magic,
Death, Signal to Noise, and Mr. Punch. He created the BBC's hit television
series Neverwhere, soon to be a major motion picture.
With the publication of
the best-selling Neverwhere novel, Gaiman made the leap from graphic visionary
to literary novelist. His other books include Smoke and Mirrors, Stardust,
and Good Omens with Terry Pratchett. In 1999, he wrote the English-language
script for the anime blockbuster Princess Mononoke and returned to Sandman
with the new graphic novel The Dreamhunters. He received the 1997 Defender
of Liberty Award from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund for his constant
support of free expression in comics. The Dictionary of Literary Biography
lists him along with Thomas Pynchon and William S. Burroughs as one of
America's "top ten post-modern writers." Gaiman welcomed Spring, 2001 with
the much heralded release of his XXth novel, American Gods.
