Inhaltsangabe

Land of the Sons is Gipi's most artistically accomplished work to date, juxtaposing the stark savagery of the post-apocalyptic narrative with the Italian master's dense and expressive line work. While similar tonally, Sons, unlike Lord of the Flies, lays the groundwork for humanity overcoming sheer brutality and personal desires, while commenting on the fragile state of masculinity and human nature itself.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Gipi develops a naturalism and human quality often missing from SF survival fantasies. ... the art reveals a credible vast alternative landscape of mud, water, reedy islands, makeshift boats, and strange and hostile patched-together colonies. It's a strikingly envisioned imaginary world.

This evocative, thought-provoking graphic novel will be sure to linger in the reader's mind long after the last page is turned.

Gipi's lines work together to convey deep emotion, even in the landscape, with large blocks of negative space lending them more power. Spend some time looking at these drawings. They are magic.

Gipi's most fully realized and mature work to date.

Reseña del editor:

Two pre-adolescent brothers scavenge a post-apocalyptic landscape for anything that might help each other and their father exist for one more day. Although their survival hangs in the balance, the boys are obsessed with only one thing―the diary their father keeps. They’ve never been taught to read or write, but they have a hunch that the scribbles might answer their questions. Land of the Sons is Gipi’s most artistically accomplished work to date.
