In this boldly printed, oversize (8 1/4" x 11 1/2") edition of Plaza, Yuichi Yokoyama has managed to translate the frenetic phantasmagoria of hyperconnected late capitalism into page after page after page of manic manga possessed of a relentless rhythmicity that will leave readers reeling in stupefaction.  This edition includes a brief interview with and afterword by Yokoyama, conducted by Ryan Holmberg, who also edited and translated this edition.

Here's what a couple of fave Copacetic creators have to say about this work:

Art and literature historians of the future will be flabbergasted that Yokoyama Yuichi existed in our time. He is a visionary on the level of William Blake. PLAZA is a parade of invention, set to the beat of turning pages.
                 — Dash Shaw

A dazzling sensory barrage of speeding lines and swoops! Witness the torrent of joyous spectacle, the inner workings of a cosmic parade machine!

And, there's an insightful review of the original, Japanese edition, accompanied by a few sample pages that only provide an inkling of what's in store, at Ear Splitting Trumpet, on Tumblr, HERE.

Moonray is an epic, full color, science fiction fantasy firmly in the original Metal Hurlant / Heavy Metal mode pioneered in the 1970s most notably by Moebius, who is clearly a big influence here. While the bulk of the artwork is by Brandon Graham, who also wrote the script, he is joined by the new-to-us artist, Xurxo G. Penalta, who contributed several short addenda scattered throughout, and then a stunning 24-page coda to the volume that will will leave readers wanting more: nice!

Given that this is labelled "Book One" we can assume that it is the first in a projected series of volumes, meaning there will be more to look forward to (much much more?  not sure...).

Michael (Madman) Allred has this to say about it:  "Moonray is gloriously epic, exploding scifi fantasy world daydreams in every wonderful way!  I can't think of anything I've enjoyed more in redent memory!"

The trippiness continues in another 160 page full color hardcover!

SPECIAL PRICE!
