Preview—The Mother’s Mouth
posted June 24, 2006
*****
The following five-page sequence, the art above and the panel in this morning's
CR Magazine posting are all from
The Mother's Mouth, former
wunderkind Dash Shaw's latest project for
Alternative Comics. It will be out in the early Fall. Shaw's last book,
Goddess Head, was a frequently stunning journey into comics' formal properties, the meanings of marks on a page and the freedom one has to shape reality with line and space. If a significant number of those elements find their way into this latest book, it should be one of the more compulsively readable books of the Fall. I'm told a solicitation for
Mother's Mouth will appear in the very next
Previews, so start bugging your local comics retailer now.
