{"product_id":"9781606995204","title":"Kolor Klimax: Nordic Comics Now","description":"\u003cp\u003eComics from the new generation of Scandinavian alternative cartoonists.In recent years Scandinavia has become a hotbed of cartooning activity, from the internationally acclaimed funny-animal stylings of Norway’s Jason to the hilarious slacker romps of Sweden’s Martin Kellerman and Dane Nikoline Werdelin’s Eisner-Award-nominated urban slice-of-life stories. This anthology of comics — many of them created especially for this book — offers an intoxicating and compelling sampling of current works from these countries. Skaal!Jenni Rope [Finland] tells a minimalist tale of heartbreak in “The Island”; Peter Kielland’s [Denmark] Mr. Pig has an eventful day; Joanna Rubin Dranger [Sweden] is “Always Prepared to Die for My Child”; Crumb-esque satirist Christopher Nielsen [Norway] boils down all of life to an eternal journey up the “Escalator”; Tommi Musturi [Finland] provides two full-color Jim Woodringesque romps featuring his “Samuel” character; Johan F. Krarup [Denmark] visits a compulsive comics collector in “Nostalgia”; plus Bendik Kaltenborn’s [Norway] “The Great Underneath,” a dazzling wordless piece from Mardon Smet [Denmark], the legendary Swedish cartoonist Joakim Pirinen’s ultra-virtuoso “My Life,” Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly-published Amanda Vähämäki’s [Finland] pencil-smudged stylings, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062030516464,"sku":"9781606995204","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781606995204_p0.jpg?v=1763830352","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606995204","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
