A Graphic Cosmogony

A Graphic Cosmogony

<div><p>"<I>A Graphic Cosmogony</I> is the first anthology from publishers Nobrow Press. This is a Nobrow equivalent of <I>McSweeney's</I> albeit with a very deliberate theme. The twenty-four artists in <I>A Graphic Cosmogony</I> tackle creation in a fitting seven pages each—each one becoming that shamanic presence, creating their own wild, imaginative versions to answer that perennial question: 'how did we get here?' . . . A damn fine read!"—<I>Forbidden Planet International</I></p><p>"The Biblical creation myth proposes that God created the world in seven days, or six plus one day off to chill out, so in that spirit the two-dozen cartoonist-shamans corralled into this compendium were given just seven pages to devise their own version of how we all got here. . . . Entire world faiths have been built on equally unlikely accounts. Perhaps if enough readers of this volume start believing in certain stories, they might cause a spate of new religions to spring up based upon them. Pull up a rock and gather round the flickering fire—the universe is about to be born again."—From the introduction by freelance journalist, curator, and lecturer Paul Gravett, co-author of <I>Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life</I> (Laurence King Publishing, 2005)</p><p>Features contributions from artists such as Stuart Kolakovic, Ben Newman, Mike Bertino, Brecht Vandenbroucke, and Luke Pearson.</p><BR></div>
