Equinoxes

Cyril Pedrosa In an equinox, day is as long as night, as if the world found perfect equilibrium between shadow and light, a fleeting equilibrium, similar to the stakes of our human destinies. Segmented into four tableaux for four seasons, unrelated people of all social backgrounds seeking equilibrium cross paths with other solitudes, weaving in and out of one another's lives- all captivated and tormented by the enigmatic meaning of life. Every season has its visual identity and its individual voice, culminating in summer and, possibly, an answer. 'Equinoxes' is a unique ground-breaking work of rare intensity and narrative sensibility by a rising bestselling star of European comics.

" -Comics Grinder, Top 20 comic of 2016 "Each and every page of this pageant is worth lingering over: A lavish tribute to the power of sequential art. At its best—and it is frequently at its best—Pedrosa's work borders on magic." -Publishers Weekly 9 x 12, 336 pp, full-color cloth hardcover $44.99 ISBN 9781681120805 Buy the e-book: $17.99
