It’s no secret that French illustrator Blexbolex has an affinity for hard-boiled detectives and crime drama. His latest work, No Man’s Land, continues in the narrative style of his previous books Dog Crime and Abecederia, and takes us on a wild journey through one man’s psyche in a quest to retrace the steps he took in taking his own life. At 140 pages, No Man’s Land is an epic graphic novel, chock full of beautiful energetic images. His style is incredibly visually arresting with its limited color overlays and heavy attention to the tiniest of details. This is definitely a must-have book for any Blexbolex fan or illustration enthusiast. The author of one of our most beautiful books to date and the winner of several internationally acclaimed book prizes, Blexbolex, brings you his very first graphic novel from Nobrow Press. At 140 pages it is his most ambitious personal project to date, in the making for 5 years! The sliver of beautiful content in the slideshow above is but a fraction of the enthralling, beautiful and disturbing yarn woven by a man that has defined an era of illustration with his matisse-like boldness of colour and shape, his artistry in design and production and attention to detail down to the very plates that print his books. We have been excited about this since we first heard about it three years ago, well, it is very nearly in your hands – don’t miss your chance to own an original first edition of a design classic!
