graphic novel: Red

An innovative, striking twist on the traditional Haida narrative, Red is the tale of an orphaned Haida leader determined to exact revenge on his sister’s captors at any cost. Set in B.C.’s northwest islands, the story invites comparisons to classic tragedies such as Oedipus Rex and King Lear. The book includes 108 hand-painted colour plates that combine Haida designs with the modern, stylistic features of Japanese manga.

Graphic novel: Douglas & McIntyre, 2009. $28.95
