Graphic novels og tegneserier: gysere

Skæbnemageren er en graphic novel om mørke ønsker, jalousi, fortrydelse og mod. Det er en historie om at finde sig selv, om at påberåbe sig retten til at have en fri vilje og til selv at skabe sin skæbne – også selvom man er en figur i en historie. Det er en koncentreret fantasyfortælling, fuld af kraft og farver, fuld af billeder, det er resultatet af et meget vellykket samarbejde mellem forfatteren og illustratoren, Lars Gabel.Simon ønsker, at hans tvillingebror aldrig var blevet født, og næste morgen er broren virkelig væk, og det er, som om han aldrig har eksisteret. Simon opdager, at en passage til en anden verden har åbnet sig via et maleri på hans værelse, og han sætter sit liv på spil for at genfinde sin bror og redde ham tilbage til familien.Pressen skriver:»Et ambitiøst tegnet fantasyeventyr. […] Kenneth Bøgh Andersen og Lars Gabel går dygtigt fortællende hånd i hånd ind i det ukendte.«**** – Kim Skotte, Politiken »Da jeg hørte, at Kenneth Bøgh Andersen og Lars Gabel var i gang med at skrive en graphic novel, var jeg ikke i tvivl om, at det ville blive godt. Og jeg havde ret. Billeder og tekst spiller i den grad sammen, og resultatet er intet mindre end fantastisk.«10/10 – Kirsten, Bookeater»Her er virkelig tale om en lækker udgivelse. Lige fra den flotte hardcover-forsides edderkoppespind med maleriportalen i midten til det tykke, glittede papir med perfekt farvelægning. […] Jeg er meget begejstret for Skæbnemageren, som måske nok har målgruppen børn og unge, men en voksen læser kan bestemt sagtens læse med.«– Jette S. F. Holst, Litteratursiden »Skæbnemageren fortjener at komme med hjem. Det er en spændende og farverig røverhistorie, der samtidig tackler nogle meget store emner.«– Erik Barkman, Weekendavisen»Straks man får Skæbnemageren i hånden, mærker man, at man står med noget lidt ekstra lækkert. Omslaget er indbydende, lidt uhyggeligt og af høj kvalitet, ligesom bogen […]. Jeg anbefaler den til alle, især store børn og teenagere med irriterende søskende.«– Viola Frøjk, Bogblogger.dk»Makkerskabet mellem Kenneth B. Andersen og Lars Gabel fungerer rigtigt godt her, og Gabels illustrationer løfter og nuancerer historien på forbilledlig vis. […] Bør anskaffes - det er et virkeligt, flot værk«– Martin W Hansen, Lektør»Tegneserien Skæbnemageren er en voldsomt imponerende bedrift, der med overskud, opfindsomhed og masser af fortælleglæde serverer et fantasy-eventyr fra en verden, man som læser nærmest føler sig omringet af. Effektive stilskift, varieret og gennemtænkt farvelægning og den velkendte, levende Kenneth Bøgh-Andersen-dialog. Det er ganske enkelt en fornøjelse.«***** – Jakob Stegelmann, Jyllands-Posten

Vi kender alle eventyret om Hans og Grete, men i Neil Gaimans nyfortolkning og med John Kenn Mortensens tegninger er der noget at komme efter for både nye og ældre læsere.Gaimans eventyr om Hans og Grete er en dyster fortælling om de to børn, som efterlades alene i den store, mørke skov. I John Kenn Mortensens karakteristiske illustrationer understreges uhyggen, og resultatet er et mørkt eventyr om hungersnød, sult og fortvivlelse - men også om to børns stædige kamp for overlevelse og tilgivelse af de voksne, som satte dem i den umulige situation.Pressen skriver:»Det løber én koldt ned ad ryggen, når man læser og ikke mindst studerer illustrationerne i Hans & Grete – og det er netop også meningen. Illustrationerne emmer af fortvivlelse og dunkelhed, så de giver en ekstra dimension til det velkendte eventyr, og bogen kan varmt anbefales til store og små.«***** – Christoffer Boserup Skov, JAGOO, 27. oktober 2015»Neil Gaiman leverer en særdeles velfortalt nyfortolkning, som klokkeklart lever op til eventyrets tradition om på én og samme tid at skræmme og fortrylle sine læsere.«– Litteratursiden.dk»Neil Gaiman og John Kenn Mortensen har skabt et flot værk, eller rettere sagt; en smuk moderne genfortælling af det velkendte eventyr.«(7/10 stjerner) – bookeater.com»Tykke, lækre sider som i stedet for at være den typiske hvide farve har fået en lys brun farve, der giver historien en mere eventyrlig stemning. Mortensens smukke tegninger tilføjer en stor del af den dystre, smukke eventyrstemning der er at finde i hele bogen«(4/5 stjerner) – happenstancie.blogspot.dk, 27. november 2015»Denne bog er blot et bevis på, at når to mesterværker, som Gaiman og 'Hans og Grethe', slår sig sammen, så bliver det intet mindre end fantastisk.«***** – mitbogunivers.blogspot.dk, 2. december 2015»Flot udgave af eventyret i lækkert layout. De markante og uhyggelige tegninger giver bogen kant.«– Lektør, uge 1, 2016
