Big Questions HC (2011 Drawn and Quarterly) comic books 2012-2014

Signed by Anders Nilsen - 2nd and later printings. Story and art by Anders Nilsen. A haunting postmodern fable, Big Questions is the magnum opus of Anders Nilsen, one of the brightest and most talented young cartoonists working today. This beautiful minimalist story details the metaphysical quandaries of the occupants of an endless plain, existing somewhere between a dream and a Russian steppe. A downed plane is thought to be a bird and the unexploded bomb that came from it is mistaken for a giant egg by the group of birds whose lives the story follows. The indifferent, stranded pilot is of great interest to the birds-some doggedly seek his approval, while others do quite the opposite, leading to tensions in the group. Hardcover, 648 pages, B&W. This new printing is signed and numbered by the author. Cover price $69.95.
