About This Item
Pantheon, 2011-09-20. First American Edition. Hardcover. Like New. Signed by Author. title page without inscription. First edition with full number line. Small pin point scuff on edge of spine.Top corner lightly bumped.Habibi is impressive to hold. It looks like a lost tome, recovered from a different time and place, a fitting package for a comic book that feels like an exotic, bizarre fairy tale. Craig Thompson's ink work is bold yet intricate. Each page reveals a meticulous symmetry, both in art and narrative, that unravels a sweeping tale that takes readers from the dessert to an industrial wasteland to the inner walls of a harem. Thematically, there's no shortage of ambition here, as Thompson tackles familial and romantic love, one's relationship to their environment, the shared roots of Christianity and Islam, and the effects of industrial modernization.
