Carrasco Freddy - Gleem - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Enter a future of defiant vitality in Gleem Imbued with cyberpunk attitude and in the rebellious tradition of afrofuturism Gleem is drawn with a fierce momentum hurtling towards a future world. Carrasco's distinct cinematic style layers detailed panels and spreads creating a multiplicity of perspectives at once dizzying and hypnotic. Vignettes unspool in proximity to our own social realities and expand into the outer layers of possibility. Whether in the club or a robot repair workshop the characters in these three interconnected stories burst across frames until they practically step off the page. A boy becomes bored at church with his grandmother until he tries a psychedelic drug. A group of friends are told that they need a rare battery if they want any chance of reviving their friend. Street style and cybernetics meet and burst into riotous dancing. Kindness and violence might not be as distant from each other as we think. Gleem unsettles with a confidence that could make you believe in anything.
