Demo by Brian Wood
Written by Brian Wood Art and cover by Becky Cloonan The Eisner-nominated and critically acclaimed series of self-contained short stories by writer Brian Wood (DMZ, NORTHLANDERS) and artist Becky Cloonan (AMERICAN VIRGIN) arrives in a new edition. Twelve stories of conflicted teens grappling with love, loss, and the joy of finding your own way in life make DEMO a graphic novel not to be missed. “More human than mainstream comics dare to be.” — Variety “Touching…breathes with a sense of space and life rarely seen.” — Entertainment Weekly “The fantastic throws the routine into relief.” — The Village Voice “Lacking recurring characters, DEMO altogether is less reminiscent of other comics series than of a thematic rather than continuous-narrative novel, such as John Horne Burns' The Gallery (1947). High praise, maybe, but deserving.” — Booklist, starred Advance-solicited; on sale June 25 328 pg, B&W, $19.99 US • MATURE READERS
