BAD ISLAND - STANLEY DONWOOD KARTONIERT (TB)

'Bad Island is an extraordinary  unsettling document: a silent species-history in eighty frames
a mute future archive. I can imagine it discovered in the remnants of a civilisation  a set of
runes found amid the ruins. Stark in its lines and dark in its vision  Bad Island reads you
more than you read it' Robert Macfarlane'I've read lots of Stanley's stuff and it's always good
and I am in no way biased' Thom Yorke  lead singer of Radiohead From cult graphic designer and
long-time Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood comes a starkly beautiful graphic novel about
the end of the world.A wild seascape  a distant island  a full moon. Gradually the island grows
nearer until we land on a primeval wilderness  rich in vegetation and huge  strange beasts.
Time passes and things do not go well for the island. Civilization rises as towers of stone and
metal and smoke  choking the undergrowth and the creatures who once moved through it. This is
not a happy story and it will not have a happy ending.Working in his distinctive  monochromatic
lino-cut style  Stanley Donwood carves out a mesmerizing  stark parable on environmentalism and
the history of humankind.
