Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 89 pages. 1st Edition. Very Good Condition with slight shelf rubbing to top and bottom front edge of cover. This book reprints the first three issues of RAW, the "comics magazine for damned intellectuals." It contains some of the classics of "New Wave" cartooning. Included is work by Spiegelman, Mouly, Moriarity, Mariscal, Tardi, Capelle, Kaz, Beyer, Burns, Munoz, Swarte, Griffith, Meulen, etc. It is a collection of cutting edge European and American material from the mid-seventies to the mid-eighties. The tone is intelligent, sophisticated, and existential (or is it nihilistic?) Visually, it is an eclectic feast for the eyes. It has been called a magazine of visual literature. This is a large, oversized publication, softbound, mostly black and white, with full-color cover reproductions. Bound into the volume are Art Spielgelman's all-color comic, "Two-Fisted Painters", and Mark Beyer's "City of Terror" bubblegum trading cards. Spiegelman s Two Fisted Painters is a mock pulp thriller about "Sunday painter" August Dabbler, a colour stealing alien, and a performance artist. As an anthology of alternative, serious, experimental "comix" it was groundbreaking in the 1980s, and still unsurpassed. Today, the quantity of serious comics and graphic novels available is almost overwhelming, but the landscape before Raw was unrecognisable. In 1980 Art Spiegelman was a little known, but innovative American comics artist, previously co-editor of Arcade (until Raw the best anthology of alternative comics). Parisian Françoise Mouly s background was in design and print, and a passion for European comics. All this experience is evident in their editing of this collection. Raw appeared in a deluxe format with double (US Comic) sized pages and considered production and design. It demanded respect, both for its physical form and for the range and quality of its contents. It published acclaimed European creators in their first English translations. Joost Swarte, and Ever Meulen immaculately compose their playfully experimental clear line pages. Swarte, particularly, is like a super-distilled Herge. Jacques Tardi, and Argentinian-born, Mediterranean-based José Muñoz and Carlos Sampayo look through European eyes at America. Their Mr. Conrad, Mr. Wilcox, from the Joe s Bar series, is a well-observed and charming story of the friendship between two middle aged men, with an blind-siding noir conclusion.
