A striking visual parable on War -- drawn in an expressionistic woodcut style -- this mature, poetic work evokes comparisons with such graphic novels as Maus and Palestine. Lanier's work contains no words, but he presents strong, confident storytelling. Elegant and subversive, COMBUSTION will intrigue and enlighten with its stark visuals and a compelling story of a soldier lost in a ravaged country. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
