Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by David B. David B's book, Epileptic, is a best-seller in North America, and here is a chance to read his follow up, Babel. A boy's world is shattered by his brother's epileptic seizures and his own growing awareness of turmoil in the world at large. Beyond the bewildered silence of grown-ups are images - tabloid crime photos, television reports of starvation in Biafra, the hieratic language of his brother's contorted body - that hold the promise of knowledge. In Babel, dreams, myth and history merge with memory to weave a deeply poetic story about the sources of strength and vision. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled), 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 32 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $9.95.
