1st printing. Story and art by Olivier Schrauwen. In 1947, the author's grandfather, Arsene, traveled across the ocean to a mysterious jungle colony in hopes of building something deemed impossible: a utopia of modernity in the wilderness. What could go wrong? This first full-length graphic novel from Olivier Schrauwen manages to fold many of the artist's obsessions found in his short stories - culture clash, lowbrow humor, colonialism, and early-20th-century continental European life - into a single engrossing, often beautiful narrative. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 250 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.
