AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Exploring the themes of Trauma and Joy, Character Sketches is an engaging anthology containing the best emerging comic and illustration talent from Australia, including Shaun Tan (The Arrival, The Red Tree), Justin Randall (30 Days of Night), Chris Burns (Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday), Christian Read (Eldritch Kid) and more, with an introduction by acclaimed Australian author Terry Dowling. Fractured moments, lives as train wrecks, curiosities of the everyday, simple pleasures, reminders of death; vignettes of people captured in response to their own perceptions and experiences of trauma and joy. – Publisher's blurb
