Blood: An Anthology of Polish Women Comic Artists (Paperback)

Description

Blood: An Anthology of Polish Women Comic Artists illustrates the incredible range and quality of comic art from Poland through the examination of the meaning of the word ‘blood’. From its mythological aspect (including the magical powers attributed to menstrual blood) to hereditary symbolism, to strong connotations with physical pain, Blood runs through it all. This anthology touches as well upon various artistic expressions beyond comics, referencing Frans Masereel and Lynd Ward’s pre-comics wood cuts, subtle portraiture, photomontage, and psychedelic references to science fiction.
