Humanoids Announces Second Wave of LIFE DRAWN Graphic Novels

Press Release

In advance of San Diego Comic Comic International 2018, Humanoids is announcing a second wave of graphic novels for Life Drawn, its new literary imprint. Internationally renowned for publishing seminal genre works including The Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Mœbius and The Metabarons by Jodorowsky and Gimenez, Humanoids is expanding its storytelling focus with Life Drawn, which spotlights personal stories and provocative, political narratives. The upcoming titles run the gamut, including: a biography of feminist icon and actress Hedy Lamarr, focusing on her revolutionizing scientific and technological innovations; a runner’s memoir of the New York Marathon; a hallucinatory and horror-fueled telling of Marilyn Monroe’s life and a humorous exploration of religious identity (and Krypton).

Review: Kabul Disco

By Sam King

Kabul Disco Book 1: How I Managed Not to be Abducted in Afghanistan, is a satirical autobiography by Nicolas Wild. It is published by Humanoids under the Life Drawn label and it is a slice of life story that is part of a graphic Travelogue series. It is humorous and provides a different viewpoint than I have ever read before, making it a highly interesting read.

Review: Luisa: Now and Then

Luisa: Now and Then is a story in which a girl is able to simultaneously see who she once was, who she has become, and possibly discover who she could be in the middle of it all. It is a coming of age story, a story of a sort of midlife crisis, and a story of identity. It is a graphic novel that really focuses on why you need to be yourself and accept who you are, despite the judgment you may get from others.

Review: The Incal vol. 1: The Black Incal

By Dustin Cabeal

The Incal marks the first time I’ve read anything by Alexandro Jodorowsky or Moebius. I’ve probably broken some comic taboo that I care nothing about. A little backstory for me, if you tell me there is a creator I must read, that I need to read, I won’t. I’ll wait until I happen across it which is the case here with The Incal.

Review: Snow Day

By Dustin Cabeal

Snow Day is one of those stories that you can love, but at the same time acknowledge its flaws. Its flaws don’t make it bad, but rather they just point out how familiar the story is.
