Omschrijving
Legendary underground cartoonist Kim Deitch’s
magnum opus, a sprawling odyssey of reincarnation,
now in a new paperback edition.
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! Featuring Deitch’s surreal scenarios and eye-popping psychedelia, Reincarnation Stories is a gripping yarn and a
cartooning tour de force.
