For Immediate Release:
FANTAGRAPHICS IS PROUD TO ANNOUCE
THE DASH SHAW NEW SCHOOL SPRING 2013 TOUR
The creator of the acclaimed graphic novels Bottomless Belly Button and Bodyworld hits the road in support of his new graphic novel, New School, as well as the one-shot comic book, 3 New Stories. At each location, Dash Shaw
will be signing copies of his new books before their wide release,
often with a gallery full of original artwork and presentations of his
animation works (including the Sigur Rós video, "Seraph"). New School
is a full-color, classic coming-of-age story that encapsulates the
current generation, both trapped and enthralled by pop culture. Shaw
dramatizes the story two brothers, one moving to an exotic country
where an ambitious new amusement park recreates historical events and
the younger one who goes to find his brother after years of little
contact. New School
is unlike anything in the history of the comics medium: at once funny
and deadly serious, easily readable while wildly artistic, personal
and political, familiar and completely new.
Here's a trailer for the book with art and animation by Shaw, killer music by Lily Benson and Doron Sadja.
Dash Shaw lives in Brooklyn, NY. He is currently writing and directing an animated feature film, The Ruined Cast.
"A former student of the genius artist-seer-cartoonist Gary Panter, Dash, it's fair to say, is something of a genius as well." - Chris Ware
