Naked City, Eric Drooker

In English, 336 pages in two colour, hardcover, 16.68 x 22.86 cm, Dark Horse books, October 2024

In this long-awaited graphic comedy from a renowned illustrator and storyteller, three bohemians struggle to answer the question: "Is it possible for an artist to survive in the twenty-first century?" A young singer poses for a painter who has gone from landscapes to nudes, and both learn a few things about the purpose of art and the meaning of success. The original comic Naked City takes us inside the head of New York artist Eric Drooker (frequent cover illustrator for The New Yorker magazine). His award-winning comics -- starting with Flood -- have broken new ground for the genre, and Blood Song will soon be a major film. Don't miss this epic reflection on art and life.
