KARAMEL

Deadpan #2

This is the latest autobiographical work by cartoonist David Heatley, obsessively painted in gouache paint. It contains nine new, bizarre and disturbing dream comics; the 5-page “Portrait of My Dad,” which ran in McSweeney’s #13 – an intimate series of vignettes highlighting the quirky and moving relationship between the author and his father; and “My Sexual History,” a 15-page account of Heatley’s entire sexual history starting in Kindergarten and ending in the present. Told in a loose, autobiographical “sketchbook” style, it is Heatley’s most revealing and personal work to date. This is David Heatley’s first comic published by Fantagraphics Books.

32-page comic, full colour, cardstock cover.
