<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The long-awaited magnum opus from comics superstar Scott McCloud: a spellbinding adult urban fable about a wish, a deal with Death, the price of art, and the value of life<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER <p/>David Smith is giving his life for his art--literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding <i>what</i> to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier! <p/>This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous, street-level portrait of the world's greatest city. It's about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life...and the great surging forces that lie just under the surface. Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work; now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable new work.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The fluidity of McCloud's visual narrative carries us along with a sweep impossible to duplicate in prose, and, through it its climax, the story's commitment to its harsh, inevitable, but ultimately sublime outcome qualifies this as a work of stunning, timeless graphic literature." --<i>Booklist</i>, <b>starred review</b> <p/>"Scott McCloud's <i>The Sculptor</i> is the best graphic novel I've read in years. It's about art and love and why we keep on trying. It will break your heart." --Neil Gaiman</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Scott McCloud is the award-winning author of Understanding Comics, Making Comics, Zot!, The Sculptor, and many other fiction and non-fiction comics spanning 30 years.
