Pham John - J + K - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: John Pham's simple - seeming stories of best friends Jay and Kay and their misfit friends weave in and out with unexpectedly sad twists and comical turns all steered by Pham's mastery of the cartooning craft and the language of comics storytelling. Pham's bold use of bright colour and high hilarity draws the reader in only to slowly reveal extra layers of psychological acuity character depth and existential gravitas. For all of its emotional richness at its heart J + K remains laugh out loud funny throughout whether driven by Pham's gift for memorable one - liners his expertly delivered sight gags or the inherent humour in his character designs and their physicality on the page. This new paperback edition will feature a number of the extra items that were included in the hardcover edition package - collectible trading cards a mini magazine with inserts a sticker sheet and a fold out map and poster - which will all be printed as interior pages within the book. Combined with Pham's brilliant use of colour and innate grasp of printing packaging and graphic design J + K is a chiseled gem of comics perfection.
