Beskrivning
The Rabagoo Race, the most famous boat race in the world, sees contestants face certain death throughout its frantic stages, all in the impossible hopes of reaching that mythical finish line, and winning everything their hearts desire.Only three ships have survived the 100 brutal stages of boat racing. Having fought mega sea monsters, riptide hell storms, and whip smart competitors, they must now face each other in the final sprint to the finish line. Does the humble sailboat the Boulie Bear have what it takes to beat the Slick Van Vex and the Indestructible Solid Slope?The Rabagoo Race is the first graphic novel by the mononymous Garresh, a young Scottish artist who leverages complex gallery-worthy abstraction and impeccable color and figurative work into comic pages of unsettling power. This debut puts Garresh square in the center of an international graphic tradition that stretches from Moebius to Cam Kennedy to contemporaries like Linnea Sterte, Taiyo Matsumoto, and beyond.PW Editors' Pick"Pure spectacle, an explosion of aquatic action and color that delights in the possibilities of the comics form."—Publishers Weekly

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY – Scottish artist Garresh’s outrageous graphic novel debut is pure spectacle, an explosion of aquatic action and color that delights in the possibilities of the comics form. The story opens on the final stage of the eponymous boat race, with the captains of three fanciful sailboats—the Boulie Bear, the Van Vex, and the Solid Slope—competing to win “everything their hearts desire.” The little Boulie Bear, crewed only by a boy and his dog, trails in third, but as the larger ships are caught up in waves, storms, and sea battles, it may have a chance after all. The story is less important than the telling, as Garresh barrages the reader with dazzling images and daring layouts. He fills pages with swirling water and clouds, spear-like shafts of light, neon color, and impressionistic effects, as when an explosion turns the bridge of a ship into a smear of ink. His art has a 1970s throwback feel, combining elements of European artists like Moebius with American underground psychedelia. Readers with an eye for kinetic beauty will be swept up. (Apr.)
