Inhaltsangabe

<p>Actions speak louder than words.</p><p>It&#8217;s said that the flutter of insect wings in the Indian Ocean can send a hurricane crashing against the shores of the American Northeast. It&#8217;s this premise that lies at the core of <em>The System</em>, a wordless graphic novel created and fully painted by award-winning illustrator Peter Kuper. From the subway system to the solar system, human lives are linked by an endless array of interconnecting threads. They tie each of us to our world and it to the universe. If every action has an equal and opposite reaction, get ready to run for cover!</p><p>A sleazy stockbroker is lining his pockets. A corrupt cop is shaking down drug dealers. A mercenary bomber is setting the timer. A serial killer is stalking strippers. A political scandal is about to explode. The planet is burning. <em>And nobody&#8217;s talking</em>.</p><p>Told without captions or dialogue, <em>The System</em> is an astonishing progression of vivid imagery, each brilliantly executed panel containing a wealth of information, with layer upon layer forming a vast and intricate tour of an ominous world of coincidences and consequences.</p>
