| The story of
everybody's favorite artistic android is gathered into one volume! Jomi
is an android girl who wants to find her place in life. Though she has
been adopted by a human family, most of society doesn't accept her as "real."
This is particularly frustrating given the fact that Jomi wants to be an
artist. How do you show people your soul if they don't believe you have
one? Better yet, if no one buys your paintings, how do you pay the rent?
Why, you become a bodyguard, of course! |

| ADASTRA IN AFRICA
is a major, previously unpublished graphic story by Barry Windsor-Smith,
the renowned comics storyteller. It features Adastra, the most popular
member of the YOUNG GODS serial from BWS' ground-breaking STORYTELLER series. |
|
|
|
| Created by Windsor-Smith
as the third and final installment of the acclaimed LIFEDEATH issues of
Marvel Comics' THE UNCANNY X-MEN, the poignant tale resided in BWS' files
for over a decade after editors at Marvel declined to publish the story,
which was not written and drawn under their supervision. BWS felt this
work was too good to let languish, so he reconfigured it as an episode
from the earlier life of Princess Adastra, who was exiled to earth by her
mother, Queen Organa of Orgasma.
This volume is augmented
by an amusing, irreverent interview with the irrepressible Lady Adastra,
now back in New York after some time abroad, and features never-before-seen
outtakes from the story.
The publisher, Fantagraphics
A major work by a legendary
artist and writer.
Fantagraphics is proud to
offer Barry Windsor-Smith's ADASTRA IN AFRICA, a stand-alone 56-page hardcover.
Includes a complete, beautifully-rendered 39-page black and white graphic
story featuring the most popular member of YOUNG GODS, from BWS' groundbreaking
STORYTELLER series. The younger, exiled goddess returns to an African village,
striving to bring salvation to the famine-stricken area. This compelling
story of an outsider attempting to use her powers to help a defiantly proud
people regain their vitality features some of the most beautifaul and graceful
drawings of Windsor-Smith's career. The story is augmented by a fresh,
amusing interview with Her Royal Highness, Princess Adastra, as well as
background material about this beloved character. Not to be missed, and
never to be released in a paperback edition. |

has been a pop culture icon since his fantastic and meticulous drawings
brought Conan the Barbarian to life in the pages of Marvel Comics beginning
in 1970. Over a thirty year period since, he has continued to forge new
channels of personal expression in the storytelling arts. |
|
|
|
| With this first
volume of BWS: OPUS, the acclaimed artist and writer of romantic, witty
and heroic fantasies pulls hard on the rudder of Reality to turn back against
the course of Time. But this is no "time-travel" caper, it is the real
thing. Barry Windsor-Smith has a past; a history to tell of Extraordinary
Experiences that are no less exciting or bizarre than any of his literary
or painterly creations.
The true story of BWS, as
a lone soul caught up in the transcendent phenomena of Cosmic Experience
begins here, in his autobiography called OPUS. |
