Scott McCloud, Scott The Sculptor (1250856906)

<p><b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling magnum opus from comics superstar Scott McCloud, <i>The Sculptor</i> is now available in a freshly designed, over-sized hardcover!</b><br><br>David Smith is giving his life for his art—literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding <i>what</i> to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier! <br><br>This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous, street-level portrait of the world's greatest city. It's about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life…and the great surging forces that lie just under the surface. <br><br>Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work; now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable work.</p>
