A propos du livre

Revue de presse

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY - "the fun of Pop Gun War is in its vivid characters and details. It is a fine debut, reminiscent of DC Comics's Vertigo line, with which it should sit comfortably on bookstores' and adventurous readers' shelves."



LIBRARY JOURNAL -- One can open this five-chapter volume anywhere and find a unique mixture of surreal, harsh, and delicate elements, including both fish and young men who develop wings and fly, a corporate pied piper seeking to distract and capture children, and an irate disembodied head. In Pop Gun War, bizarre events unfold according to a dreamlike logic rather than a linear narrative, drawn in a distinctive monochrome style with occasional bursts into color. This is how writer/illustrator Dalrymple (acclaimed author Jonathan Lethem's collaborator on the minicomics series “Omega the Unknown”) has chosen to depict the inevitable collision of youth and innocence with hard experience in the big city, with honorable forbears including filmmaker David Lynch and artist Jim Woodring. The trip on which Dalrymple takes readers here is demanding and not always rewarding, but it's possibly worthwhile for those who handle its blend of symbolism, non sequiturs, and abrupt twists of fate. With original cover artwork.
Verdict Guileless and imaginative, this Gift will nonetheless be an acquired taste for most readers. Optional but recommended to those who value how the medium can be used to tell personal and elliptical stories. Some violent and disturbing content.-J. Osicki, Saint John Free P.L., NB
