Check out a solicit below, and enjoy!Ī new original graphic novel from the Eisner-nominated cartoonist of ONE SOUL! This ground-breaking new book looks at the lives and relationships of 24 individuals in a way only the medium of sequential art could. Thanks to Oni for sharing a look at it, and please, pick this book up. Now, his follow-up to “One Soul” – “The People Inside” – is coming from Oni Press in August, and thanks to our friends over there, we have an exclusive first look at a bunch of pages from the book and a conversation with Fawkes about the book, why he can’t help but experiment with the comic book medium, and more. His graphic novel work in which he writes and draws highly innovative, metaphysical stories like the Eisner-nominated “One Soul” is some of the best and most unique cartooning you can find in the industry today, and we really can’t get enough of his work. Odds are, you probably know Ray Fawkes as the guy over at DC who works on “Constantine” and “Trinity of Sin: Pandora” and “Batman Eternal”, and if that’s the case, that’s totally fine.īut you’d be missing out on the work that makes Fawkes one of the most exciting creators in comics today. ![]()

When my mother turned away, they quietly picked up the food and left. They brought their own utensils and placed them on the floor my mother served them while they stood apart. ![]() But unlike other domestic helpers, they were not served in our utensils, nor did the latrine cleaners expect to be. ![]() My mother often gave them dinner leftovers, and sometimes tea. She also brought along a couple of scrawny kids, who waited by the vegetable patch while their mother worked. As in most traditional homes, our squat toilet was near the rear door, across an open courtyard. This was the latrine cleaning woman, or her husband at times. ![]() Domestic helpers, such as a washerwoman and a dishwashing woman, entered our house via the front door-all except one, who came in via the rear door.

Seth was by far the most vicious, and more times than she cared to count he’d left her emotionally bruised, but at least he was forthright with his hostility. They almost always contacted her then, either before to make their pitches for more money, which she had yet to approve, or afterward to let her know, in their individual ways, what a scummy bitch they thought she was. At worst, she was pissed.Įven being pissed wasn’t a full-time attitude that came only when she had to deal with her stepchildren, Seth and Tamzin, which, thank God, usually happened only once a month when she signed off on the allotted funds they received from their inheritance from her late husband.
