Description

"Written by Brian Wood Art and cover by Becky Cloonan The Eisner-nominated and critically acclaimed series of self-contained short stories by writer Brian Wood (DMZ, NORTHLANDERS) and artist Becky Cloonan (AMERICAN VIRGIN) arrives in a new edition. Twelve stories of conflicted teens grappling with love, loss, and the joy of finding your own way in life make DEMO a graphic novel not to be missed. 'More human than mainstream comics dare to be.' - Variety 'Touching breathes with a sense of space and life rarely seen.' - Entertainment Weekly 'The fantastic throws the routine into relief.' - The Village Voice 'Lacking recurring characters, DEMO altogether is less reminiscent of other comics series than of a thematic rather than continuous-narrative novel, such as John Horne Burns' The Gallery (1947). High praise, maybe, but deserving.' - Booklist, starred Advance-solicited; on sale June 25 328 pg, B&W, $19.99 US • MATURE READERS"
