Hvem er Asterios Polyp? Arkitekt, professor, forfatter, ægtemand – men det ligger alt sammen i fortiden. Nu hvor han er fyldt halvtreds, er han blevet en skygge af sig selv. Men det er en stormfuld nat, og et lynnedslag skal til at sende ham ud på en skæbnesvanger rejse.Asterios Polyp har modtaget The Los Angeles Times Book Prize Graphic Novel award, The Eisner Award for best new graphic album, juryens specialpris i Angoulême og Komiks.dk-prisen for bedste udenlandske tegneserie, blandt flere andre priser.“Et episk, følelsesrigt, symbolmættet værk, der tegner til at omdefinere den grafiske roman.”- Globe and Mail“Et vaskeægte mesterværk.”- Chicago Sun Times“Denne bog er en satirisk komedie om ægteskab, en afhandling om æstetik og design og ontologi, en midaldrende Künstlerroman, en idéroman med vægt på begge ordets dele, og så omtrent det mest skematiske stykke fiktion siden den der anden store bog, der konstant refererer til Odysseen…Asterios Polyp er blændende, mesterligt konstrueret underholdning, også når den til tider er enerverende og endda kvælende. Den kræver, at dens læsere tager livtag med den, diskuterer med den, genlæser og genudforsker den. Er det ikke det ypperste formål med stil?”—The New York Times Book Review* * * * *

Enjoy the acclaimed graphic novel as an ART BOOK! Each page of this classic story is reproduced from the original art--while appearing to be in black and white, the art is scanned IN COLOR, capturing all the nuances (blue pencil, white out, etc) and quirks that make original art unique!DAVID MAZZUCCHELLI''S DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN was released in the much lauded Artist''s Edition format in 2012. It soon became the best-selling Artist''s Edition of all-time and was universally acclaimed. In 2013 the book received the prestigious Eisner Award for Best Archival Project--Comic Books, as well as a Harvey Award the same year. It soon sold out and has been the single most requested AE book to date for IDW to reissue. So it is only fitting that IDW launch its new MARVEL series of Artisan books with this award-winning classic! Just as the original release, DAVID MAZZUCCHELLI''S DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN ARTISAN EDITION features the same scans--entirely from the original art--each painstakingly done by David Mazzucchelli himself to ensure the finest quality possible. If ever a book deserved to be in this format it is Daredevil Born Again. Frank Miller, at the peak of his powers, crafted a story that remains--in an extraordinary career--one of his finest pieces of writing. And David Mazzucchelli does a stellar tour de force job as his collaborator, providing a nuanced and nearly pitch-perfect turn as artist. If there is any book deserving to be re-read and rediscovered... this is the one!

The triumphant return of one of comics’ greatest talents, with an engrossing story of one man’s search for love, meaning, sanity, and perfect architectural proportions. An epic story long awaited, and well worth the wait. Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, meagerly successful architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is wholly upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. In a tenacious daze, he leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this “escape” really about? As the story unfolds, moving between the present and the past, we begin to understand this confounding yet fascinating character, and how he’s gotten to where he is. And isn’t. And we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she’s gone. Did Asterios do something to drive her away? What has happened to her? Is she even alive? All the questions will be answered, eventually.In the meantime, we are enthralled by Mazzucchelli’s extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception.Asterios Polyp is David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.
