1st printing. By Byron Clavicle, Grute Skullbasher, and Benjamin Chadwick. Art by Joshua Kemble. Sick of our spineless twenty-first century, with its fat-free cow milk, electric cars, and websites about spoiled chihuahuas? Wishing you could get what you want, when you want it?

1st printing.

Story and art by Max.

Bardín the Superrealist is a suite of stories, musings, and gags that can be read individually or together as one overarching story.

Heavily influenced by surrealists such as Luis Buñuel, and graphically by "clear-line" cartoonists from Hergé to Chris Ware, Bardín the Superrealist begins when every-man Bardín finds himself suddenly transported to another dimension, where an "Andalusian Dog" serves as his ill-tempered guide. In a series of vignettes, gags, illustrations, text pieces, and dream stories, ping-ponging back between the surrealist world and the "real" world, Bardín examines, questions, and defends his own beliefs, convictions, and philosophies while tangling with the Dog and the Holy Trinity in a variety of guises.

Bardín the Superrealist is a playful, hilarious, thought-provoking, and beautifully illustrated major work by one of the great European cartoonists.

1st printing.

Back in the early 1990s, when anime was still called Japanimation and The Simpsons still featured Phil Hartman, no one could have conceived of the concept of Bartkira. Yet 23 years later, in Neo-Britain, artist Ryan Humphrey gave life to the unimaginable. His pages for the mind-bending crossover comic ignited a fire in the mind of comic artist James Harvey, who proposed the impossible: Recreate every page of Akira using characters from The Simpsons.

It would take 768 artists, each contributing five pages, to redraw the full six volumes of Katsuhiro Otomos masterwork. A monumental group comic project unlike any other inspired working illustrators, comics professionals, and even some who had never drawn a comic in their lives. Now for the first time, the project that some have heralded as the greatest thing to ever happen to the Internet is here to destroy Floating World Comics. Floating World is proud to present an exhibition book collecting 80 pages from the Bartkira project as well as a 16 page full color gallery section. This exhibition book is only a small curated sampling of the larger project, and should not be confused as representative of the 6 volume project that James Harvey will be posting online in 2014-15.

Featuring contributions by 19 artists: James Harvey, Danny Hynes, Marcel OLeary, Michael Kim, Erica Henderson, Jacob Chabot, Cameron Stewart, Ben Ommundson, Brenton Barnes, Luke Novel, Richie Pope, Jon Huddleston, Jason Rainey, Cory Tran, Bodie Chewning, Alchemichael, Frans Boukas, Tyler Patrick Boss, and Ben Jelter. The full color gallery section includes illustrations by Wyatt Carroll, Jeremy Arambulo, Areil Vergez, Jaime Munoz, Alexandre Ghostthead, Rawn Gandy, Nick Sumida, and Ryan Humphrey. This exhibition book was curated by Frans Boukas with design assistance from Matt Deans.

Bartkira is intended to be a fan tribute to Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira and Matt Groening's The Simpsons. This project is not endorsed by, nor affiliated with, either creator and does not represent itself as an official publication of any kind. All characters and location depicted herein remain the trademarked possessions of Otomo and Groening.
