The stories in Syncopated challenge convention, provide perspective, and search out secret truths–all in the inviting, accessible form of comics. Syncopated will give you a daringly different view of the past–from the history of vintage postcards to the glory days of old Coney Island. It will immerse you in fascinating subcultures, from the secret world of graffiti artists to the chess champs of Greenwich Village. And it will open your eyes to pieces of forgotten history–for example, the Tulsa race riots of 1921–and to new perspectives on critical current events, such as the interrogation of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. These “picto-essays” encompass memoir, history, journalism, and biography in varied visual styles–each handpicked by Brendan Burford, one of America’s top editors.Including:How and Why to Bale Hay by Nick Bertozzi Penny Sentiments by Rina Piccolo Boris Rose: Prisoner of Jazz by Brendan Burford and Jim Campbell Portfolio by Tricia Van den Bergh Father Figures by Josh Neufeld West Side Improvements by Alex Holden The Evening Hatch by Richard and Brian Haimes What We So Quietly Saw by Greg Cook “Like Hell I Will” by Nate Powell Welcome Home, Brave by Dave Kiersh The Sound of Jade by Sarah Glidden Subway Buskers by Victor Marchand Kerlow Erik Erikson by Paul Karasik Dvorak by Alec Longstreth A Coney Island Rumination by Paul Hoppe An Encounter with Richard Peterson by Brendan Burford
Les histoires de Syncopated bousculent les conventions, offrent une nouvelle perspective et partent à la recherche de vérités cachées, le tout dans la forme accueillante et accessible du comics. Syncopated te propose un regard audacieusement différent sur le passé, de l’histoire des cartes postales vintage à l’âge d’or du vieux Coney Island. Il t’immerge dans des sous-cultures fascinantes, du monde secret des graffeurs aux champions d’échecs de Greenwich Village. Et il t’ouvre les yeux sur des pans d’histoire oubliés — par exemple les émeutes raciales de Tulsa en 1921 — ainsi que sur de nouvelles façons de voir des événements actuels majeurs, comme les interrogatoires de prisonniers à Guantánamo Bay. Ces « picto-essais » mêlent mémoires, histoire, journalisme et biographie dans des styles visuels variés, chacun sélectionné avec soin par Brendan Burford, l’un des meilleurs éditeurs américains.
