Approximate Continuum Comics brings American readers the first portion of the 'Trondheim autobio trilogy' that also comprises the Eisner-nominated 'At Loose Ends' meditation serialized in Mome (which will be released as a graphic novel in 2012) and the ongoing 'Little Nothings' series of short slice-of-life stories (three to date from NBM Publishing), as well as the first three chapters serialized in the Nimrod comic book. In Approximate Continuum Comics, Trondheim's typically graceful, confident cartooning shows him wrestling with his own demons (sometimes, in dream sequences, literally) and an often malevolent world, while trying to maintain his rising career as one of Europe's most beloved cartoonists.
The debut of a hilarious, epic fantasy series from the acclaimed co-author of Dungeon. Witty and fleet-footed like all of Trondheim's work, madly inventive in terms of characters, creatures, and events, Ralph Azham is scheduled to run for at least six volumes and is presented in a distinctive 'landscape' format.
(W) Lewis Trondheim
Ralph Azham, the wayward, shamed, would-be Chosen One, is still on the hunt to stop the infamous Vom Syrus, Superintendent (and secret age-defying King of Astolia), and save his own reputation and the lives of his family. But more twists and turns abound, as Ralph must recover a new magical relic, Angthar's wand, from unwelcoming magicians to help grant him the upper hand in this battle of power...easier said than done. Then, a new community of zealots appears which has dangerous repercussions for Ralph. It's a whole new era for this unfolding fantasy tale full of magic, knights, castles, angry ghost hordes, and deadpan humor. From award-winning comics creator Lewis Trondheim.
