The Cage: Toward Legal Rights For Animals by Martin Vaughn-James (English) Paper

Description: The Cage by Martin Vaughn-James The triumphant return of the 1975 cult classic and seminal graphic novel - its a nightmare you cant awake from. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description First published in 1975, The Cage was a graphic novel before there was a name for the genre. Considered an early masterpiece of the genre, the Canadian cult comic has been out of print for decades. The new edition includes an introduction by Canadian comics master and Lemony Snicket collaborator Seth (Palookaville; Its a Good Life, If You Dont Weaken).Cryptic and disturbing, like Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) illustrating a film by Ozu, The Cage spurns narrative for atmosphere, guiding us through a series of disarrayed rooms and desolate landscapes, tracking a stuttering and circling time and a sequence of objects: headphones, inky stains, bedsheets. Its not about where were going but how if we get there. Author Biography Martin Vaughn-James (1943-2009) was a painter and groundbreaking comics artist who published three of his early works with Coach House Press: The Projector (1971), The Park (1972) and The Cage (1975). He was born in England and spent much of his youth in Australia, before moving to Canada to do his groundbreaking comics work in the 1970s. Vaughn-James is widely recognized as a pioneer in the development of the graphic novel. Later in life, Vaughn-James moved to Belgium, where he focused on painting. His works were the subject of several personal exhibitions in Brussels and Paris. Vaughn-James also published two works of prose fiction: Night Train (1989) and The Tomb of Zwaab (1991). Review "In the histories of comics in Canada and comics as book-length narratives he played an important and often neglected role. His importance stems not just from the fact that he was a Canadian cartoonist when so few others were out there, or that he created long-form cartoon books when no graphic novel designation yet existed in book stores or libraries. Vaughn-James was also, and remains, a significant figure in comics history because his work was singular, literate, experimental, and often unsurpassably good." -- The Walrus "He is best known for a publishing sequence from the early 1970s ... that stand as either seminal graphic novels from the generation in which that notion finally began to take hold, books that function in many ways like graphic novels but arent quite the same thing, or works that have informed the development of or suggested possibilities for those kinds of books." -- The Comics Reporter Promotional Co-op availableNational print and online campaignSocial media campaignPromotional postcards available Long Description First published in 1975, The Cage was a graphic novel before there was a name for the genre.
