Product Details

How would you live with nothing but your name?
Manel Naher wants out. In a world where your name is currency, it's tough to
make ends meet. It's even tougher when you share a name with a rising pop
star. The city is unbearable - endless high-rises, social climbers left and right,
and nothing but names as far as the eye can see. But Manel is looking a little
bit farther, just beyond the horizon, and she's even convinced her buddy Ali of
how much more could be lying in wait right outside city limits.
When a sudden heart attack induced by diminished name recognition foils
Manel's plans, gradual change becomes a catalyst for a complete lifestyle
overhaul. This stylish, absurd comedy of contemporary manners skewers the
human condition in persistent self-promo. Sharp, architectural lines are
accented by decisively mellow hues, building a humorously grim world
unexpectedly bathed in nothing but light.
An exciting debut from a fresh perspective, The Great Beyond showcases
newcomer Lea Murawiec's command of comics language and satirizes a
sprawling metropolis, its politics, and its extraordinary inhabitants.
