Eden

Eden
Adult Graphic Novels-Main Level - EDE

Pablo Holmberg's new collection of short comic vignettes is immediately engaging. This is his first book publication, though he has been publishing online for years now. He lends a sense of honesty and whimsy that is refreshing to keep seeing in independent comix.

Eden is not really a graphic novel. It is more like a series of short comix poems or stories. Some are heartfelt. Some are funny. Some are cute. Some are thought provoking. Some have a wonderful sense of innocence. This book is a very quick read, and yet it gives the readers an idea of what is possible in comix and how stories can be told in four simple frames.

Published by Drawn and Quarterly, a Montreal based independent comix publisher, dedicated to finding great new talent in the independent comix world, this is a gem. Even if you are reading something else right now, you can take a break and savor this book all in one sitting, or read a few strips when you want, out of order if you please!
