The New World

Since the mid-1980s, British cartoonist Reynolds has self-published his tales of Mauretania, set some years after Earth has been taken over by intergalactic invaders....Over the years, Reynolds' stories have amassed an enthusiastic cult (including the alt-cartoonist Seth, who designed this volume); this handsome compilation is bound to expand his following immensely. -Booklist Reynolds' stark black and white frames stop you in your tracks...It's also mesmerising and hypnotic. You want to read it again once you're done, and pore over its strangeness...Periodically books find their way to Bookmunch's maw that we don't expect and they blow our collective socks off. This is very definitely of that variety. -Bookmunch
