A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

by Jessica Abel
Soundtrack collects the best of Jessica Abel's self-published Artbabe series, one of the most exciting comic books to emerge in the late-1990s. The first four were self-xeroxed efforts, and led to a prestigious Xeric Grant in 1996, enabling her to publish a more professionally packaged fifth issue. This volume presents the best of these five comic books, as well as other short strips, to a larger audience for the first time. Abel's stories are peppered with hipsters, fashion, and trendy locales - all of which have contributed to her considerable appeal - but don't let the generational trappings fool you. Her intuitive ear for dialogue and characterization have made Artbabe a hit amongst people of all ages, especially women.
TP, 120pg, b&w

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Banda sonora reúne lo mejor de la serie Artbabe de Jessica Abel, uno de los comic books más interesantes de los años 90. Los primeros cuatro números de Artbabe fueron editados en fotocopias por la propia autora, lo que le valió una beca de la Fundación Xeric y le permitió una edición más profesional del quinto número. Su forma de usar el pincel ha hecho que se la compare con José Muñoz y Blutch. Las historias de Abel se fundamentan en una buena caracterización de personajes, diálogos potentes y la capacidad de capturar ambientes únicos. Banda sonora demuestra que Jessica Abel ya era una autora de talento desde mucho antes de que las editoriales se fijaran en ella.
