The Fall

Øyvind Torseter

An elephant boy is running through the forest, fleeing from someone or something. Is he being kept prisoner in a castle? He escapes by leaving his shadow behind in his place. He goes on to become a successful businessman in a big city. But something is missing. What will happen when he meets his shadow again? A picture-based adventure from Øyvind Torseter, one of our most critically acclaimed and garlanded illustrators and authors. «... a new and exciting addition to Torseter's extensive catalogue.»DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV «He is one of the most extinguished illustrators we have, with the ability to stack different techniques and elements on top of each other, in a way that would have collapsed by most other artists.»BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO «... Torseter's neat line is as alive and expressive as previously, and it enables him to tell a story mainly through graphics like few other Norwegian series creators can.»SERIENETT.NO

One night they see the thief – a strange flying creature who brings them to a tiny island far, far out at sea. There they’re captured by a strange little man – and suddenly the story takes a new turn. Bjørn Ousland has years of experience as a comic book illustrator, and he’s published a range of picture books and comic books, as well as educational and engaging non-fiction titles about polar heroes and feats.

The Drone Catcher

Øyvind Torseter

On a small island lives the Mule Boy. He receives a warning about a catastrophe and locks himself inside his house. The rats have taken over the city. Should he escape, or should he stay put? After consideration, he bravely ventures out into the empty streets, where he finds someone who’s part of the resistance. An adventurous, apocalyptic action-filled story about isolation, being daring and giant rats. The Drone Catcher is the fifth book about Mule Boy, a series of graphic novels that blend myth, adventure and social commentary, in text and images. Mule Boy’s skewed and somewhat alienated universe enables us to see ourselves and our society with fresh eyes.Allowing plenty of time is recommended: Between Torseter's covers there is - in every way - so much going on that his broad pages are a joy to turn.KLASSEKAMPEN[The book] is large and thick, but it is wise to give yourself plenty of time on each page, to study the details. This is where the experience lies - and the opportunity to supplement with your own associations and reflections. This applies to both adult readers and children.VÅRT LANDTorseter stands firm in its art form. The overview images are colourful, intricate and detailed, while the close-ups and individual scenes are simple and immediate, with black ink and a white background. This contrasting alternation creates a good flow in the narrative.BARNEBOKKRITIKK

The Key

Aleksander Kirkwood Brown

Two Hulders are trying to steal Tyri’s medallion, a key she has promised her father to protect at all costs. Tyri and Peter realize something is going on, and they must hide the key. At the midnight market in Oslo's Royal Park, they meet Bhurai, who reveals that the key protects the Floral, an ancient and powerful magical artifact. If the Floral's power is unleashed, it could have devastating consequences for the world. Together, Peter and Tyri descend further into the underground city, facing unknown dangers in their quest to protect the artifact. This is the second book in a critically acclaimed urban and magical graphic novel about friendship and commitment, based on fairytales, folklore and intense action. Aleksander Kirkwood Brown is skilled at creating exciting and original stories, based mostly on fairytales and Norse folklore. Kirkwood Brown is original in the sense that he combines the vernacular folklore traditions with an urban, modern story and personal challenges which contemporary readers can recognise. Luis Guaragna is a well-known and talented graphic novel illustrator with an international career. In The Undercities series he wishes to combine his own Italian-Argentinian background with the Norwegian world of fiction. Both his illustrations and characters are rich with traces of folkloric traditions – emphasising that the population of the Underground City is just as diverse as those of us who live above ground. Reviews «The second book in the Undercities series makes the reader thirst for more. ... a refreshing and different fantasy title.»Empirix «Undercities 2: The Key does exactly what the middle part of a fantasy trilogy should do; it sharpens the conflicts, expands the universe, and pumps up the tension ahead of the grand finale.»D2 «Magical realism is a literary term, but with The Undercities series one may be able to launch a new term: realistic magic. Brown and Guaragna manage to bring people and supernatural beings to life in a very convincing way.»Serienett.no

Block to block

Jonathan Castro / Don Martin / Felipe Orellana Castro

Block to Block is about ending up where you are, not because of, but despite of. Don Martin, Castro, and Fela are famous Norwegian rap artists, who are now sharing their stories and taking the readers into their block of flats, behind their music and lyrics. This is a vivid and tough depiction of growing up from East Oslo. It’s original and quick-mouthed, uncompromising, and important. These are vital voices that deserve to be heard. The book is a cool, commercial, and original book about a rough life on the Eastside of Oslo. At the same time, it’s a vulnerable family story about suicide, and not least the story of when hip hop came to Norway. This graphic novel is based on the hip hop show Block to Block with Don Martin, Fela and Castro, which was a breakout success at Det Norske Teatret. Reviews for the show"Block to Block is about keeping your pride when others try to bring you down. About finding your own rhythm when life doesn’t have any. (…) An experience that’s bigger than a concert and richer than a normal show."Aftenposten "Block to Block is a personal and important show, told by those who could have fallen outside of society."Morgenbladet
