- It is now only just under 2 weeks until you can get hold of an exclusive free ebook for your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, PC or Mac
And interest has been very strong
But you wanted to know more? No Problem!
Last week we told you the comic in question was going to be material from none other than Dave Sim..
This week we reveal the comic that is going to be made into a free ebook for everyone..
But before we do that - lets have a look at what John Parker of Comics Alliance had to say about the art..
"he (Dave Sim) is also a virtuoso of the medium. In both his translations of the photo-realists' works and fashion magazine photos, he brings depth, character, and flair to each image. Usually with those maddeningly meticulous cross-hatchings that helped define his style in "Cerebus." Even the layout and flow of the book is impressive, and the design and digital production work of Sandeep Atwal smooths the reader's ride from parody to narrative to appreciation and back again. Each issue is a visual experience from cover to cover."
and the writing / content
"a book to be consumed on several levels. As a scholarly work, it provides a unique depth and insight into the lives and works of Alex Raymond, Al Williamson, Stan Drake, and other artists whose contributions to the medium are immeasurable. By copying from the best-possible sources, Sim shows a glimpse of what long out-of-print strips might look like with restored fidelity, tuned to brush lines the thickness of a single hair."
"Despite the high quality and cultural importance of the scholastic portion of the book, the thing that really makes it pop (and skirt the realm of controversy) is the parody. By choosing fashion magazines as the references for his own art, Sim not only also finds a plentiful source of young (socially-accepted) beauties, he also uncovers a mother lode rife for parody.
Yes, fashion magazines are an easy target. They're also a big one, and a perfect springboard to comment on commercialism, materialism, vanity, the pharmaceutical industry, mob culture, advertising, , and of course, feminism, the comics industry, and himself.
The list doesn't end there. Sim is a gifted satirist, darting from topic to topic over the span of a few sentences. Woven into the design, it comes at the reader from many angles: a column for a Dr. Phil-like character in "Ask Dr. Norm," letters to Glamourpuss (the editor of the fashion mag, not the scrubby little comic book), ad spreads, and short comics."
Ladies and Gentlemen - allow me to introduce :- Dave Sim's Glamourpuss.
Glamourpuss must easily be the most overlooked title in current publication, that is why we are giving you a free sampler as a ebook as we are convinced that if you give it a try - you might just like it and want some more!
So come on - all you need to do is send a email to ebooks@exoss.net and in 2 weeks time we will email back the free ebook - it could not be any simpler
