First Look: Bread & Wine by Samuel R. Delany & Mia Wolff

mike

We're excited to show off this advance copy of our handsome hardcover presentation of Bread & Wine by Samuel R. Delany and Mia Wolff, coming in about 2 months. Here's what some people had to say about the original, long out of print 1999 edition:

"Samuel R. Delany is one of the finest living American writers. In this revealing autobiographical love story, told in collaboration with fine artist Mia Wolff, Delany's brilliance shines." – Neil Gaiman

"Wildly eccentric artwork, a storyline that'd make Capote blush... Bread & Wine is smoking-gun proof that comics can go anywhere - and do anything." – Frank Miller

"Told simply and methodically like Delany's 1996 memoir, The Motion of Light in Water, the story is subdued yet acutely emotional. It reaches across the boundaries of race and class — as well as across hilariously opposed standards of personal hygiene — to capture two people in the process of building a life together." – Publishers Weekly

More previews are forthcoming, including a look at the spectacular surprise under the dust jacket. Preview a 6-page excerpt and pre-order a copy right here.

Cover Uncovered & Excerpt: Bread & Wine by Samuel R. Delany & Mia Wolff

Fantagraphics is proud to present one of the most unusual and moving true love stories ever told. Famed science fiction author Samuel R. Delany recounts his unconventional courtship and blooming relationship with his partner Dennis, a love born on the streets of New York City, illustrated with unflinching detail and fluid, dynamic expressionism by artist Mia Wolff. Originally published in 1999 and out of print for years, Bread & Wine now comes to you in late June in a new hardcover edition with an introduction by Alan Moore and a new interview postscript with the creators and subjects of the book.

As the debate over same-sex marriage continues, this book transcends the politics and proves that love can be found and flourish under the most unexpected circumstances. Preview a 6-page excerpt, and pre-order a copy right here.
