From Wonderland with Love: Danish Comics in the Third Millennium

In all the excitment over manga from Japan and bandes dessinees from France, it's easy to forget that other countries have a thriving comics culture all their own. This eye-popping anthology, assembled by Danish publisher/editor/translator Steffan P.Maarup, introduces adventurous readers to 19 exciting talents whom are taking their first bow on the English speaking stage.One centerpiece of the book is Nikoline Werdelin's stunning " Because I Love You so Much," a Doonesbury-style slice-of-life dalily strip about a suburan Danish couple who discover that their daughter is being molested--- is it happening at her daycare center , or, horrifyingly , closer to home?The book also spotlights the snarky and surreal single-panel work and gags by HuskMitNavn, Christoffer Zieler, and Johan F.Krarup; the visually explosive silent comics of Mardon Smet and Peter Kielland.
