Gone are the tightly constructed narratives and urbane, elegant graphics of his projects with Berberian. In their place, roughed-in drawings give an urgent, spontaneous feeling to a series of hallucinatory stories and dreamlike sequences that register the raw distress of solitude and self-doubt--the dark core of the material held in balance by Dupuy's acid humor and lyrical sensibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA jogging Dupuy runs around and sometimes through the stories of the misfit characters that haunt him: a self-amputating dog, a Left Bank artist in search of emptiness, an art-collecting duck, Lucha Libre wrestlers, and a group of single guys at the watering hole imagined as the anthropomorphic \"Forest Friends.\" Heart pumping, gaze turned inward, the ground occasionally giving way beneath his feet, this alter ego concludes that sometimes you need to cross the line to figure out where it is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe original French edition of \u003ci\u003eHaunted \u003c\/i\u003ewas nominated for the 2006 award for Best Comic Book at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897299265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.06w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/31\/2008 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Philippe Dupuy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52034352971957,"sku":"9781897299265","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_85f556c1-0e4d-4c75-b103-fb2f02f56e67.jpg?v=1763593790","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/haunted-9781897299265","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
