LEVIATHAN
Jens Harder
NEW COVER!
The whale, mythical creature.
“There Leviathan, hugest of living creatures, in the deep Stretched like a promontory sleeps or swims,
And seems a moving land; and at his gills
Draws in, and at his breath spout out a sea” (Paradise Lost).
A silent ode of a graphic novel as grandiose as the creature, directly imported in limited quantities from Europe, with quotes from famous works (in English). Must be seen.
"Harder composes a grand pictorial fantasia that enraptures the eye and engages the ecological-moral imagination." -Booklist
"You don't read Leviathan so much as give in to its visceral sensation. Harder depicts the angry cetacean as, among other things, a metaphor for our fears of nature."
-Andrew D. Arnold, Time.Comix
"A beautiful book." -Jeff Salamon, Austin American Statesman
"A perfect ten! Harder's astonishing art and wordless story leaves this graphic novel's depiction of the whale wide open for interpretation, a virtual visual buffet from which the reader never wants to turn away."
