Ett epos om kärlek och katastrof som växer fram ur sig själv och utspelar sig på sidan i realtid. En drivande rytmisk vision, en teckning efter en annan. Efter den prisbelönta "Fönsterruta" (2020) och mästarprovet "Måsvarrelsen" (2022) återkommer Joe Kessler med ännu en lång, ordlös fabel, berättad med underskönt vackra bilder.

The life of an orphaned boy is shaped by the devotion of a fantastical Gull in this lovingly rendered, entirely wordless graphic novel by a contemporary comics innovator.Joe Kessler is at the forefront of European comics. Co-founder and art director of UK’s Breakdown Press, and winner of the Angoulême International Comics Festival’s Fauve Révélation for his breakthrough comic book Windowpane, Kessler rejuvenates the form once again with his vivid and moving The Gull Yettin.Told in striking colors and loose but confident lines, The Gull Yettin’s story begins when a young boy awakens late one night to find his home on fire. The boy is saved by a lanky, shapeshifting Gull. Orphaned by the fire, and now adrift in a boat piloted by the Gull, the boy faces an uncertain future, one that will be both helped and hindered by his new attendant. Without a word, Kessler builds a strange but recognizable world, using it to explore all the forms that grief, jealousy, longing, and love can take in our lives, and the compassion and cruelty that can dwell in a single heart. Filled with all the warmth and poignancy of a great folktale, The Gull Yettin proves that Kessler is pushing comics to new heights.

Windowpane is Joe Kessler's 'one-man-anthology' of short-narrative, experimental, sometimes-allegorical comics. Collecting material from previous issues, this beautiful edition - printed in offset lithography - is the perfect backdrop for Kessler's quietly disconcerting, hallucinogenic work. It is a visual delight that showcases the unrestrained talent and mastery of one of the UK's most exciting cartoonists.

Fönsterruta är en enmans-antologi med ett antal berättelser som utspelar sig i en färgsprakande värld präglad av magiska under och äventyr. Den franska utgåvan belönades med ett pris för bästa debut vid den prestigefyllda seriefestivalen i Angoulême 2020.
