Joseph

Nicolas Robel

Joseph is another fantastical tale from surrealist master Nicolas Robel.

A little boy with enormous hands and an overactive imagination copes with indifferent parents, teasing schoolmates and troubling dreams.

Returning to themes explored in Fallen Angel—his first book from Drawn & Quarterly’s Petit Livres series—Robel captures the wonders and traumas of childhood in a short narrative that is as emotionally sincere as it is cryptic, while deftly melding the corporeal with the imaginary in his signature simple yet highly evocative style.

Quebec-born NICOLAS ROBEL, now based in Geneva, is a cartoonist and graphic designer and the publisher of B.ü.L.b Comix.
