Foxhole — Pretty Penny — The glow infernal — Demonica — The incident — Success — The opening the way — Krugg — Doomsday.
A tapestry of interconnected narratives that together tell a life story, Monica is the new graphic novel from one of the most iconic storytellers of all time. This eponymous protagonist is a rag-to-riches character who, after being abandoned by her freewheelin' parents in childhood, succeeds in clawing her way to the top--only to lose it all in a stroke of bad luck. She lives out the rest of her days in search of her parents, encountering a cast of eccentric characters who help to piece together her story. This graphic novel extravaganza is an unforgettable ode to the many genres that have defined the comics form--from war, romance and horror to crime and the supernatural. Mysterious, uncategorizable and quintessentially Clowesian, here is a multi-layered masterpiece born of a lifetime of inspiration.
