{"product_id":"9781590179840","title":"Peplum","description":"The man known as Blutch is one of the giants of contemporary comics, and \u003ci\u003ePeplum\u003c\/i\u003e may be his masterpiece: a grand, strange dream of ancient Rome. At the  edge of the empire, a gang of bandits discovers the body of a beautiful  woman in a cave; she is encased in ice but may still be alive. One of  the bandits, bearing a stolen name and with the frozen maiden in tow,  makes his way toward Rome—seeking power, or maybe just survival, as the  world unravels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrilling and hallucinatory, vast in scope yet unnervingly intimate, \u003ci\u003ePeplum\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together threads from Shakespeare and the \u003ci\u003eSatyricon\u003c\/i\u003e along with Blutch’s own distinctive vision. His hypnotic storytelling  and stark, gorgeous art pull us into one of the great works of graphic  literature, translated into English for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis NYRC edition features new English hand-lettering and is an oversized paperback with French flaps and extra-thick paper.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150963687664,"sku":"9781590179840","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590179840_p0.jpg?v=1763810140","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590179840","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
