Mother Come Home
Author: Paul Hornschemeier
Desc: With his clean distinctive art style and poignant storytelling up-and-coming indie comics sensation Paul Hornschemeier has earned comparisons to and accolades from today's top graphic novelists. Mother Come Home is Hornschemeier's graphic novel debut-the quietly stunning tale of a father and son struggling by varying degrees of escapism and fantasy to come to terms with the death of the family's mother. The story seamlessly weaves through the surreal and the painfully factual guided by the careful somber colors and inventive pacing unique to Hornschmeier's storytelling. Mother Come Home extracts almost tangible drama from the most tranquil of moments making that which is unspoken in each panel easily audible and almost uncomfortably experienced.
