The 1960s spirit of Peter Max inhabits the over 300 pages of cleanly delieated, lushly colored and organicly formed comics that Spanish cartoonist, Maria Medem brings to her tale of isolation and discovery in an abandoned town.

Translated from the original Spanish by Aleshia Jensen and Daniela Ortiz.

Land of Mirrors has already won some quite worthy fans:

“Maria Medem’s book is strange, in the best possible way. For a while, in the middle, I got lost in the labyrinth and broken mirrors. Then the ending wallops you with emotion. I’m humbled by a book like this—the visuals, in general, blow my mind. A beautiful and mesmerizing work of art." —Craig Thompson

“Spellbinding and inventive. Unlike any other graphic novel around, a truly impressive debut.”—Tillie Walden

“Medem’s Land of Mirrors is a beautifully shaped and polished comic, an intimate work of art that presents a mystical synthesis of line, colour, and story. An ambient experience that helps us see differently, a rare feat of ambitious imagination and extraordinary draftsmanship.” —Jesse Jacobs
