World Map Room
"Translated from the original Japanese by Ryan Holmberg"--Title page verso.
New Engineering
Combines two of Yokoyama's central themes: fighting and building. One set of stories details massive structures being erected across a landscape. Plot is pushed aside in favor of sheer formal verve as we watch buildings, about which we know nothing, come into being. The other set of stories is one sequence after another of elegantly choreographed battles. Yokoyama builds things up and tears them down.
Ourselves
"Ourselves is a portrait series with distinctive compositions and colors. It was first shown in [the artist's] exhibition CORNER at NANZUKA Gallery in Tokyo"--Publisher's website.
Garden
A group of friends is attempting to enter a garden just beyond a wall. When they succeed, the garden they finally enter is no Eden, but rather a massive landscape of machines, geometric forms and all manner of nonorganic objects. In Japanese comic-book artist Yuichi Yokoyama's newest and longest (at 328 pages) work of graphic magic, his characters become enmeshed in a fantastic wonderland of distorted mirrors, photographic equipment, massive libraries and complex pathways. To his signature vivid visual style, Yokoyama has added more dialogue than in past works, fleshing out the characters and allowing them equal billing with his spectacular architectural creations, thus yielding a reflection on the myriad ways human interact with the complex mechanical world we have created. Douglas Wolk, writing in the New York Times Book Review, declared that few cartoonists of the moment are "weirder or more original than Yuichi Yokoyama."
Iceland
A new surrealist tale by the creator of neo manga, the critically-acclaimed Yuichi Yokoyama. His frenetic visual style contrasts with the taciturn pace of the story and dialogue as a group of friends wander the high-latitude areas of the strange icy Far North looking for someone. Readers of Yokoyama's other stories may even recognize some characters.
Travel
Three men board a train and walk through it until they find seats, then ride through changing scenery until they reach their destination, a waterfront. The point of the book is Yokoyama's outlandish, hyperstylized designs for characters, architecture and landscapes. Everything and everyone is abstracted until nothing is left but a few identifying features; some sequences, as when the train passes through a rain shower, are almost pure pattern--Publisher's Weekly.
Sea of Stars #1
"LOST IN THE WILDS OF HEAVEN," Part One Being a space trucker sounds like a cool job, but in reality, it can be boring as hell. So when recently widowed Gil gets a long-haul gig across the universe, he figures it's safe enough to bring his young son Kadyn along for the ride that is, until their "big rig" gets bitten in half by a gigantic Space Leviathan! Now separated from his son with a breached suit that's venting oxygen at an alarming rate Gil must defy the odds and stay alive long enough to rescue Kadyn. But meanwhile, Kadyn seems to be getting all the help he needs from a talking Space Monkey riding a Space Dolphin or maybe it's the strange powers he's suddenly manifesting?! From the writing duo of JASON AARON (SOUTHERN BASTARDS, Thor) and DENNIS HALLUM (Cloak and Dagger, Vader: Dark Visions), with dazzling art by STEPHEN GREEN (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) and cosmic colors by RICO RENZI (Spider-Gwen), comes a brand-new science fiction series with all the scope and heart of the The Neverending Story crossed with the imaginative weirdness of MiyazakiÑan intense, galaxy-spanning adventure thatÕs suitable for fans of all ages!
Outdoors
In Outdoors, our senses are assaulted as we follow a human riding a missile through a busy landscape - complete with sound effects - and experience this mad world from within the ears and eyes of the speechless people dotted throughout. Wordless, but anything but quiet, Outdoor is a relentless sound poem from a master craftsman.
カラー土木
The first book of colour paintings and comics from the New York Times-acclaimed and Eisner-nominated manga artist Yuichi Yokoyama is designed and edited by the artist himself. It seamlessly integrates his lush painted canvases (often presented as fold-out pages) with a sequence of comic strips in a variety of techniques: photography, loose marker drawings, hyper real portraiture and much more. Throughout, Yokoyama continues his investigations into the world of machines, architecture and post-human fashion.
An Invitation from a Crab
If you are ever fortunate enough to see a crab strolling through your neighborhood, please follow its lead. By slowing down to a crab's pace and looking around and about in this world, you too may discover life's many mysteries that are hidden in plain sight.
