Astra Publishing House The Secret of the Stone Frog: A TOON Graphic
Book SynopsisWhen Leah and Alan awaken in an enchanted forest, they have only each other and their wits to guide them. In a world full of pet bees and giant rabbits, they befriend foppish lions and stone frogs. Learning to overcome danger, they find their way home- and their independence.Trade ReviewIt could be a great way to introduce kids to masterpieces of the past. Or you could just enjoy the story on its own merits. There are plenty of them. -New York Times The intricate flowerings and soulfully etched forest backgrounds of the art make the black-and-white pages sing as though they were drawn in a rainbow of colors...To stick the landing, Nytra's serene ending manages to be worthy of its glorious beginning. His cavalcade of dreamscapes is a rich and beguiling experience that deserves multiple immersions. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Winsor McKay was a comics pioneer whose early experimentation with the form nearly predated the form itself. McKay's spirit, along with his dream-inspired imagery, lives on through Nytra, whose remarkable debut taps into the same unearthly environment with a similarly enchanting effect. . . .The extraordinarily delicate and fine-lined art incorporates touches of manga aesthetic so that, like the story itself, it merges timeless narrative elements to craft something wonderfully innovative. TOON took a chance on a brand-new talent to create the first of their ever-so-slightly more mature graphic novel line and it's paid off with a smashing success. -Booklist (starred review) Fans of the art of Tenniel and his modern descendants (Maurice Sendak, Charles Vess) will find much to admire in this U.S. debut. -Kirkus Reviews Intermediate elementary readers will identify with this quirky, affecting escape down a rabbit hole. -Library Media Connection This is truly a book worth discovering. Beautiful to the core. -A Fuse #8 Production (SLJ blog) This is definitely art to pore over, and evidently it's the debut children's book from Nytra...Holy moly, I hope we see more from him soon. -Seven Impossible Things blog Stands out as a remarkable book. -Comic Book Resources

Sternberg Press Wonderflux
Book SynopsisIllustrated essays that consider emergent consistencies and overarching issues that defined the first decade of e-flux journal.In Wonderflux you will find yourself in front of disappearing mirrors held up to curators, critics, and artists; sailing through counterfactual universes; face-to-face with cold-blooded killers, faceless men, weary but buoyant prophets; all the while imbued with stubborn thriving and stubborn refusal to be moved or monetized, and once in a while having earnest conversations with robot(s and) workers.The authors included here have shaped the varied concerns and urgencies of e-flux journal since 2008. As a theory-driven art journal made up entirely of hypertext and digital images and embraced by academic circles, we sometimes wonder about the artistic and sensual use of text and image. Does the thinking of some of our favorite authors also speak to a place beyond floods of automatic links and references and rectangular photographic portals? To a broader and more applied artistic domain like the imaginative sensibility of illustration, where entire worlds arise from the simple and deliberate placement of lines on paper?ContributorsFranco Bifo Berardi and Andrew Alexander, Raqs Media Collective & Freddy Carrasco, Liam Gillick, Elizabeth A.
