Blue Fox Publishing The Girl in the Midnight Gown
Book SynopsisLela''s twin sister, Darby, has been missing for days, and no one can find her. Until, that is, Lela receives a mysterious message, which guides her to Abe''s, a barber shop that''s been around for a thousand years, serving its very unique customers; heroes.With the aid of Sarah - the girl in the midnight gown Lela sets off into a magical, fairy-tale, world to seek out Darby, unaware that nothing is quite what it seems...Trade ReviewLela’s family has been torn apart by the loss of her twin sister, Darby, and even the notebook of the girls’ original stories doesn’t bring any solace. When a mysterious email leads Lela to Abe’s, a barber shop/pub/gathering place for heroes, she starts on the first steps to learning the truth behind Darby’s disappearance. Anyone who escapes into the world of a TV show, book, or movie knows how easy it can be to lose yourself in an alternate reality. The Girl in the Midnight Gown from Blue Fox Comics simply takes the idea a step further by showing the cost of staying outside your own time and space for too long. Darby is gone, but it is not an outside antagonist preventing her from returning home but her love of the narrative that has sucked her in thoroughly. It’s a lovely way to take exterior conflict and beautifully invert it in a way that both reveals deep love for imagination-based escapism and cautions against hiding from life within it. Ultimately, the story teaches that we should embrace flights of fancy, because they can bring us gifts of adventure, acceptance, forgiveness, joy, etc., but don’t forget to live life, as well. My description of the plot of The Girl in the Midnight Gown is very vague, because the beauty is how the story unfolds. One touch I especially appreciated is that Darby and Lela’s family is portrayed as people of color; their ethnicity is not defined, but they are clearly not white. So many fantasy epics focus on white men that this gently inserted representation (It doesn’t affect the story; it just is.) gave me a great deal of joy. I also enjoyed the diversity of the heroes at Abe’s; women were equally as represented as men, and while each adventurer represented an archetype, they came from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Abe’s clearly was meant to be a crossroad between all worlds where anyone could find the adventurer that fit their story. The artwork for The Girl with the Midnight Gown reflects the otherworldly feel of the imagination. It’s not photo perfect, but it’s how someone might describe what they saw in a dream. The number of different adventurers portrayed in Abe’s is incredible, and there are some panels in Faerie where the sheer number of tropes must have been a lot of work to draw! Overall, The Girl with the Midnight Gown left me with a soft feeling of contentment and warmth. Acceptance, family, love, and adventure flow throughout the entire piece, including the short illustrated story in the final pages. It’s not the type of graphic novel to pick up if you’re expecting swords, sorcery, and swashbuckling, but it tapped into the essence of some of the old fairy tales my father and grandmother read to me as a child and has a way of feeling both engaging and comforting. -- Jodi Scaife * Fanbase Press *Jam packed with the type of quality that has drawn me to Indie comics. -- Gary Watson * Comics Anonymous *

St Martin's Press The Giant
Book SynopsisFrom graphic novelist Youssef Daoudi comes a radically new look at the director of Citizen Kane and Touch of Evil: legendary filmmaker Orson Welles.Long after his death in 1985, the shadow of Orson Welles still looms over Hollywood. By twenty-three, Welles had revolutionized theatre and radio with The War of the Worlds; by twenty-five, he had secured his place in history with his debut film, Citizen Kane. Yet four films and less than a decade later, his career suffered a spectacular collapse, and Welles, once the most promising director in America, was written off as a would-be geniusa bad bet in an increasingly money-conscious industry. In The Giant, Youssef Daoudi weaves together reality and mythology to create a radical new look at one of Hollywood's most legendary figures and poses a question as timeless as Orson Welles himself: What happens when a true artist comes up against the rest of the world?
