Vapor (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781606994603)

Disgusted and appalled with today's noisy and noisome world in which all is spectacle and surface sensation, Nick flees into the solitude of the desert. But even as he manages to recover some sort of spiritual balance thanks to an ascetic regimen of fasting and meditation, he is seduced by the most spectacular and mesmerizing spectacle of all time: the procession of the Queen of Saba. In Vapor, the award-winning Spanish cartoonist Max engages in delightful philosophical mind games, starring another wildly stylized and endearing protagonist -- this time deploying a striking, crisp black-and-white graphic style perfectly suited for this desert-based fantasia.
