El libro nos narra la historia de la infancia y adolescencia de Craig Thompson, un chico que es educado por un padre severo y en un entorno enormemente religioso. El chico era víctima de abusos por parte de otros niños del colegio.

Pero pasan los años, y Craig sólo puede agarrarse a la religión. El mundo le parece una mentira de la que necesita escapar, la cual le obligará tarde o temprano a ser corrompido y a pecar.

Entonces, Craig conoce a Raina, una chica muy simpática, de la que se enamora.

Pero el amor se convierte en una tentación de la que Craig no puede escapar por más que lo intente.

Finalmente, gracias a Dios y a Raina, conseguirá salir adelante.

After laying dormant for far too long, I'm touring again - this time to South Korea for the Bucheon International Comics Festival (their twentieth year!) July 19th-23rd, 2017, and a store event at Book By Book in Seoul on July 22nd, and plenty of promotion for the Open Books/ Mimesis editions of my books. Hope to see some of you there!

BEDSTOCK is an important event for a crucial cause that I had the honor of participating in in a last-minute, lo-fi capacity. Help out those kids stuck in bed on #givingtuesday. BEDSTOCK

One last SPACE DUMPLINS event on the docket: Free Comic Book Day at the Federal Bar in North Hollywood, Saturday, May 7th. This is a fundraiser for LA Children's Hospital, LA+USC Children's Hospital, City of Hope Children's Cancer Unit and Elizabeth's Canvas organized by Blastoff Comics.
After that, I'm moving on from "all-ages" to work again on "serious", "literary", "adult" "graphic novels".
In the meantime, the release valve for my silly, cartoony energies is a platform of spontaneous, collaborative animations cooked up with my little brother, Phil, called TRACTORBEAMS. Check out the soft launch at instagram and tractorbeams.tv. ("TV", not ".com"... couldn't get that one.)

Thank you to everyone who made it to the events in France, Belgium, Germany, UK, Corsica, Italy, and Spain. Over 22 cities in 45 days. Promotional tour is complete; Now it's time to push my baby from the nest and let it fly on its own. More importantly, time to get started on something new.

Thank you, too, for the piles of great fan art. Here's a couple of samples: Leonardo D'Angeli (above) and Mar Mascaró (below). Oh, and at the very top, Veronica Carratello in Milan and Inigo from Bilbao.

Grazie to all the fans who made it to the Italian events, which wrapped last night in La Spezia.
See below, tour dates for this week in SPAIN.

Merci to all who made it to my French events, including Lyon, Annecy, Grenoble, and Paris. Pictured, the bustle of Salon du Livre in Paris and the spring-time bliss of Annecy, overlaid with Zacchaeus fan art by soon-to-be-eleven-year-old Alanis (Lyon).

Danke schön to my German publisher Reprodukt (along with the organizers, performers, and moderators) for hosting amazing events in beautiful spaces, like the Library Luisenbad in Berlin.

Pictured above, young fans at Museum Angewandte Kunst - the Applied Arts museum designed by Richard Meier (known for the Getty in my current hometown LA). The museum was kind enough to host a daytime event for kids, and an evening lecture for adults. (Photo from Heiko Schmelz.) And then the impressive nine-story City Library in Stuttgart, where we did an evening lecture. Next stop, France!
