Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Over the past three decades, Kim Deitch has been one of the most vital graphic novelists the medium has to offer. His new graphic novel, Reincarnation Stories, feels like the apotheosis of his career, an ambitiously sprawling tour de force exploring the concept of reincarnation that spans the past, the present, and the future of human history. Frank Sinatra, monkey gods, a forgotten cowboy star of the silver screen, and a whole host of other unforgettable characters make this a rich tapestry of a graphic novel, certain to be a staple on 2019 'best of' year-end lists.
"Sitting on a bench one day, four-year-old Kim Deitch is accosted by an elderly man. Flask in hand, the man exclaims, 'Is it possible? Sid! SID PINCUS! Good God, man! You've changed!' A lightbulb goes off in the man's head. 'You died, Sidney! And now you live again!' Whisked away by his mother, young Deitch is left to wonder: Was it all just the mad ravings of a drunk or a tantalizing glimpse into reincarnation? Thus begins Deitch's quest to piece together the cosmic jigsaw puzzle of creation and reveal his past lives. This sprawling odyssey weaves through time and space, encompassing a dizzying array of oddball characters, including aspiring screenwriter Sidney Pincus, a tribe of moon-dwelling Native Americans, a feline YouTube star, a has-been silver screen cowboy, Frank Sinatra, and the awesome Monkey God!"--Provided by publisher.
