VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

(W) W. Maxwell Prince
(A/CA) Martin Morazzo, Mat Lopes

Presenting here the first major work from the creative minds behind ICE CREAM MAN-re-lettered, remastered, and under its original intended name! The world of fine art is falling apart, and only ART BRUT knows how to fix it. Alongside the Bureau of Artistic Integrity, Arthur Brut the Mad Dreampainter (and his trusty sidekick, Manny the Mannequin) must dive back into the very paintings that made him insane…or reality itself might just crumble to pieces. A colorful, gonzo romp through art and art history, ART BRUT is equal parts police procedural, hyper-fantasy, and psychological thriller-a veritable Pollock-splatter of comics genres tossed onto one giant pulpy canvas! Each issue features new covers, new design, and a new Silver Age-style backup story featuring the art hero that no one's ever heard of-until now! Originally published under the title The Electric Sublime, this special edition presents the NPR-lauded, critically acclaimed material in its intended form.

Reviews

Art Brut is a comic from the creators of Ice Cream Man about a series of murders being committed in the name of art. Guts are removed, children are bronzed alive, eyes are plucked out, and amidst all of it, the Mona Lisa is winking. Arthur Brut, a psychotic anxiety riddled manic depressive is the world's only hope, as he has the ability to travel in and out of artworks.

Which means this is much more accessible than Ice Cream Man.

Grab your idiosyncrasies, gird your stomach, and dive head first into this canvas of nightmares.
