1st printing. A hilariously scathing send-up of current graphic novel pomposity, Disillusioned Illusions is an exploration of what happens when ambition collides with indolence. When a pair of silhouettes abandon the optical illusion business to make a graphic novel, they desperately hope the book will rocket them to fame and fortune. They'll do just about anything to finish their project except put forth any kind of effort whatsoever. All their attempts at evading the hard labors of proper storytelling backfire when the characters become entangled in a labyrinthine narrative of deception and betrayal. Softcover, 6-in. x 7-in., 356 pages, B&W. Cover price $30.00.
