L'auteur s'exprime ainsi à propos de son travail :"Mes histoires sont des cauchemars, des moments de peurs. Je retravaille des choses qui m'occupent l'esprit. Des choses que j'ai peut-être observées dans la réalité, puis que je tente de raconter sous forme de parabole ou de métaphore. Mon travail a un effet d'exorcisme. Chaque histoire, que je peux extraire de mon esprit, me rend plus léger....". La technique utilisée, la carte à gratter, donne des dessins sombres, une teinte sombre qui traduit chez l'auteur, sa vision négative de l'humain...
by T. Ott Forget Sin City, welcome to Swiss horror master T. Ott's first full-length graphic novel! The Number 73307-23-4156-6-96-8 is full of guilt! Desperation! Gambling! Disappearing money! Disappearing women! Bad luck! And love! When cleaning the cell of an executed prisoner, a prison guard finds a small piece of paper with a combination of numbers on it. The numbers awake the prison guard's curiosity and he sets off in search of their meaning. Perhaps, if he can answer their riddle, he'll find a new meaning to his life as well? T. Ott's O. Henry-esque plot twists will delight fans of classic horror such as The Twilight Zone as well as fans of hard-boiled detective fiction by the like of Raymond Chandler.
Five interlinked horror tales, told in the form of a graphic novel, follow a young girl into a booth at an amusement park called "Cinema Panopticum," an attraction that introduces her to four chilling nightmarish worlds in "The Prophet," "The Wonderpill," "La Lucha," and "The Hotel." Mature.
A gorgeous, ghostly, and silent graphic novella from the modern scratchboard master.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very Thorough, Very Good Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2000 As an avid fan of Caribbean history, I claim this book to be one of the best I have ever read. It is a must for anyone interested in the Haitian Revolution on Saint Domingue. Mr. Ott thoroughly covers the revolution from start to finish. His writing style is efficient and to the point. The book analyzes the causes and effects of each stage of the revolution from every possible view point and deals in depth with the leading figures of this event. I highly recommend this book.
The book deals with the integration of temporal information in Geographic Information Systems. The main purpose of an historical or time-integrative GIS is to reproduce spatio- temporal processes or sequents of events in the real world in the form of a model. The model thus making them accessible for spatial query, analysis and visualization. This volume reflects both theoretical thoughts on the interrelations of space and time, as well as practical examples taken from various fields of application (e.g. business data warehousing, demographics, history and spatial analysis).
A nod toward the classic horror formulas of EC Comics and the Twilight Zone, this collection contains six beautifully rendered and horrific stories, all near silent and presented in Ott's meticulous scratchboard style. 'Honeymoon', the opening story, depicts the love and happiness of Doris and Dave, who plan to be joined at the hip on their honeymoon - as Siamese twins. An unparalleled collection from one of today's preeminent horror cartoonists.
THE STORY: The home of the Blackwoods near a Vermont village is a lonely, ominous abode, and Constance, the young mistress of the place, can't go out of the house without being insulted and stoned by the villagers. They have also composed a nasty s
On August 22, 1791, the Haitian war of independence began in flames. On that night, known as the "Night of the Fire," over 100,000 slaves rose up against their hated French overlords, burning every plantation, and executing every French man, woman, and child they could find.
In this graphic novel, readers follow various characters' paths in a fantastical world of endless tracks. One runner relies on her poncho to give her direction. Another deals with a suddenly missing appendage. There are also algebra dogs, a juice institute, and a helpful network that consists of miles of string that proves that, no matter how far apart, the friends you can rely on are the ones you met while traversing life's twisty-turny trails. Cartoonist Henry McCausland’s flowing page layouts showcase his elaborate landscapes and thrilling kinetic energy, matching them with a laugh-out-loud, idiosyncratic sense of humor.
