Local Description

Description

Description: Remco knows he is special. He was chosen. God took a shine to him, after a bright light in a clear northern sky brought Remco to the incredible Cloud Hotel, a wondrous place that he never wants to leave. But Remco has outstayed his welcome... and it's time to check out. LA Times Book Prize finalist Julian Hanshaw (Tim Ginger) returns with a new feast of visual imagination and emotional intensity that will haunt readers' dreams long after the book is closed.

Reviews

"Crisp of line and hypnotically peculiar, Hanshaw deftly suspends us between dream and reality, as good comics do. As in life, the harder we look the more we see, and the stranger things invariably become." — Shaun Tan


"[Cloud Hotel's] panel layouts and richly colored mise-en-scène are impressively imaginative. As if Philip K. Dick wrote a teen graphic novel." — Publishers Weekly


Praise for Julian Hanshaw:
"Understated, wryly observed, and welcome." — Dave McKean
"Exquisitely realized. Deeply rewarding." — Booklist (starred review)
"Awe-inspiring... Emotive subject matter tackled with grace and serenity." — Broken Frontier
"One of the best written pieces of graphic novel fiction I have read this year." — Page 45
