THE ONLY CHILD GN

(W/A/CA) Guojing

Like Shaun Tan's The Arrival and Raymond Briggs's The Snowman, this gorgeous and imaginative 100-page graphic picture book is utterly transporting and original. A little girl, lost and alone, follows a mysterious stag deep into the woods, and she finds herself in a strange and wondrous world. But home and family are very far away. How will she get back there? In this magnificently illustrated and wordless masterpiece, debut artist Guojing brilliantly captures the rich and deeply-felt emotional life of a child, filled with loneliness and longing as well as love and joy.

ETERNAUT HC

(A/CA) Francisco Solano Lopez

Now published for the first time in English, this seminal 1950s Latin-American science-fiction graphic novel has it all- Cold War tensions, aliens, and time-travel. Illustrated in a gritty, realistic style and rich with historical and political commentary, The Eternaut is an allegory based upon contemporary global events. The lasting power of the story of Juan Salvo's fight to save Argentina has proved a potent symbol of the endless struggle against oppression.
