Baby Boom - Yokoyama Yuichi

SKU: 9781911081197

Breakdown Press

Yokoyama's comics are entirely unique: free from the traditional modes of narrative, his work explores motion, sound and structure, generating striking, beautifully graphic stories that propel the reader into a world of onomatopoeia, speed, and visual noise. Collecting 39 short pieces, each drawn with bright markers, Baby Boom uses polychromy in symbolic and rhythmic ways to create a musical, visually extraordinary experience.

With a cover design by  Jean-Philippe Bretin, an essay by manga academic Ryan Holmberg, and an  interview with Yokoyama himself, this new English language edition,  masterfully printed using Pantone spot colours, brings together  Yokoyama’s most ground-breaking work to date.

“Baby Boom is a book about how the world is a beautiful place, how living in it can be a very wonderful thing, and how the presence of others is what keeps happiness alive in us.” - Matt Seneca, The Comics Journal
