Editorial Reviews

Review
"Strong black-and-white artwork, bent to strange purpose". -- Frank Miller --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Dark Horse Comics is proud to be reprinting this American Book Award winner, Flood!, a powerful graphic novel by the socially and politically conscious illustrator Eric Drooker, frequent cover artist for the New Yorker and contributor to World War III Illustrated. Flood! is a modern novel written in the ancient language of pictures, and its expressionist graphics hold a film noir edge. Long out of print and now at its tenth anniversary, Flood! conveys all the joys and sadness that intermingle in our large cities and gives us a look at a possible future. This edition features a new introduction by historian and poet Luc Sante, a new cover by Drooker, and a complete re-design. This reprint of Flood! will coincide with the release of Drooker’s follow-up graphic novel, Blood Song: A Silent Ballad, from Harcourt Brace. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, spellbinding, gritty, emotional., October 14, 1998
By A Customer
This book is one of the most precious things I own. It is beautiful beyond words. A story, in painstaking, gorgeous, graphic images, of an artist's metamorphisis and life in the city. You can watch Drooker's work progress as each scratchboard image becomes more refined, more gorgeous. Stunning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surviving the Flood, September 1, 2005
By Mark DeRespinis (Boulder, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When you first encounter Drooker's story-scape, each precious moment of recognition and association collapses the space that holds you outside the book reading, until you are dropped deeper even into your own world, and marveling at all that is around you. Here, the reader is invited to witness and participate in the appropriations of meaning that constitute the individual's identity in a vast and elusive society. The solitary protagonists in Drooker's stories are journeyers and drifters, transgressing a fluid mythotropic environment that pulses with historical memory and a rich cultural symbology. Drooker's world is pervaded with a deep and compelling mystery. The mystery is in the eclectic progression of images that flash across the page, a fragmented and kaleidescopic depiction of a hybrid instance of collective culture. This is evocative of that strange cross-breeding of cultures, which we see in our cities. Drooker sees within this a kind of hope, which emerges out from behind the distinctively apocalyptic mood and stage of the work. The culture is mined for knowledge that will bestow meaning upon the seeker, fostering a vital and visionary experience. The creative and imaginative integrity that the characters find in the midst of stifling urban anonymity and alienation are a type of personal redemption that brings celestial satisfaction within reach, like an instruction manual for surviving the destruction of the great flood.
