We're pleased today to bring you a sample from the unsettling comic book, Big Pool by Chris Harnan. Thank you to Breakdown Press for sharing a sample with The Comics Journal. If you're anything like us, and we suspect you are- the experience of reading this comic is not unlike ducking into a movie theater in an attempt to escape a heat wave, only to discover the air conditioning is off. Please enjoy the images unfurling before you, but don't expect to get too comfortable.
From the publisher's press release:
Big Pool by Chris Harnan is an expansive, symphonic work in pictures. Reading Big Pool is a vision assault. Overwhelming and essential. Like drinking from a fire hose. From primordial soup to Mount Olympus. Or cradle to grave. Or five minutes lost online. Big Pool is a journey that will blast you into the other side and leave you wondering what you used to think pictures were all about anyway?
Chris Harnan’s restless art moves through several different techniques and approaches, one moment wild and expressive, another cold and precise. Big Pool explores the rhythms of complexity, guiding the reader compulsively through the pages so even the most abstract images take on a power and a poetics of their own. It’s a story written in the space between atoms, intertwined with all things, everywhere, always. It’s an experience like no other.
