Rebuilding Story Worlds: The Obscure Cities by Schuiten and Peeters

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Set in a parallel world, full of architecturally distinctive city-states, the comics series The Obscure Cities represents one of literature’s most impressive pieces of world-building. Rebuilding Story Worlds explores both the artistic traditions from which the series emerges and the innovative ways it plays with genre, gender, and urban space.
