Thomas Girtin The Forgotten Painter HC (2023 SelfMadeHero) comic books in grades to NM

1st Printing. Story, art, and cover by Oscar Zarate. Part historical narrative, part modern fiction, this book consists of two interlinked stories: The first focuses on the 18th-century painter Thomas Girtin and his relationship with his friend and rival J.M.W. Turner; the second tells the tale of three amateur artists in the present day, united by a shared interest in Girtin's art. Using this dual narrative to draw parallels between two eras of rapid technological advancement and sociopolitical turbulence, Oscar Zárate's long-awaited new graphic novel restores to modern eyes this unjustly forgotten figure, whose work has been almost entirely ignored despite his huge influence in British painting! Hardcover, 8-in. x 10 1/2-in., 392 pages, full color. MATURE READERS. Cover price $39.99.
