{"product_id":"9781681374840","title":"The Projector and Elephant","description":"By: Martin Vaughn-James     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTwo surreal graphic novels about technology, corporatization, and alienation in the modern world by a cult-favorite comics innovator.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1968, the British artist and writer Martin Vaughn-James emigrated to Canada. Over the next eight years, he proceeded to produce some of the most mesmerizing and inventive works in comics, light-years ahead of his contemporaries. Among them were \u003ci\u003eElephant\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Projector\u003c\/i\u003e, linked graphic novels that guide the reader (and a bespectacled Everyman) through landscapes built out of both the everyday and the nightmarish. Jam-packed superhighways, plummeting horses, vast urban wastelands, colossal businessmen, demented cartoon animals, and interstellar oranges are just a small part of Vaughn-James’s prophetic vision of society’s turn away from the natural world to the artificial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether for the first time in a single volume, designed and edited by Seth and with an introduction by Jeet Heer, \u003ci\u003eElephant\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Projector\u003c\/i\u003e stand as a reminder that we have yet to catch up to Vaughn-James.","brand":"New York Review Comics","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":46405166268643,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781681374840","price":320.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781681374840.jpg?v=1748572501","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/9781681374840","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
