Postcards

"The inventive writers and illustrators who crafted these transporting stories just may convince you to trash your BlackBerry and buy some stamps."--Frank Warren, author of PostSecretYou've seen them at flea markets and in antique shops and used-book stores across the country: Vintage postcards inscribed with handwritten notes, evocative messages that capture a thought, an expression, a concern, a snapshot of someone's life once upon a time. Jason Rodriguez, acclaimed editor of Elk's Run, collected a remarkable array of these correspondences, dispersed them among thirty-three of comics' greatest creators, and asked each to craft a story about the person who sent it. The result is a vividly imagined, gorgeously rendered graphic anthology illustrating tales of romance, adventure, hardship, and mystery. In Postcards, these gifted artists share some of the richest and most inventive work of their careers.From the Hardcover edition.
