PIERO GN

(W) Edmond Baudoin (A) Edmond Baudoin

Edmond Baudoin has long been one of the most revered and influential figures in European comics, renowned for his slashing, expressive brushwork and narrative experimentation. NYR Comics presents the first English translation of his most intimate and accessible book, his graphic memoir of growing up with his beloved brother, Piero. Whether stuck in bed with whooping cough or out exploring in the woods, the two br OTHERS draw together endlessly. They confront Martians, battle octopuses, stage epic battles between medieval castles, and fly high over the earth.

Piero is a delicate, exuberant testament to the joys of childhood, and a bittersweet account of what it means to become an adult - and an artist.
