Summary

In all the excitment over manga from Japan and bandes dessinees fromFrance, it's easy to forget that other countries have a thriving comics cultureall their own. This eye-popping anthology, assembled by Danishpublisher/editor/translator Steffan P.Maarup, introduces adventurous readers to19 exciting talents whom are taking their first bow on the English speakingstage.

One centerpiece of the book is Nikoline Werdelin's stunning "Because I Love You so Much," a Doonesbury-style slice-of-life dalily strip abouta suburan Danish couple who discover that their daughter is being molested--- isit happening at her daycare center , or, horrifyingly , closer tohome?

The book also spotlights the snarky and surreal single-panel workand gags by HuskMitNavn, Christoffer Zieler, and Johan F.Krarup; the visuallyexplosive silent comics of Mardon Smet and Peter Kielland.
