Cover titles. Two titles bound back-to-back and inverted. "British-Canadian artist Martin Vaughn-James' brief foray into comics produced two of the best experimental comics ever made, The Projector and Elephant. These books explored cinema, dreams, urban life, and reflect the uncertainty and instability of the era. This collection is designed by Seth, and will feature an introduction by The Nation's Jeet Heer"--Provided by publisher.
Summary:
Linked graphic novels that guide the reader (and a bespectacled Everyman) through landscapes built out of both the everyday and the nightmarish. Jam-packed superhighways, plummeting horses, vast urban wastelands, colossal businessmen, demented cartoon animals, and interstellar oranges are just a small part of Vaughn-James's prophetic vision of society's turn away from the natural world to the artificial.
