Stig and Tilde, Vol. 1: Vanisher’s Island by The Center for Cartoon Studies fellow (2009-10) Max de Radigues is available September 10 from NoBrow. Keeping with a local tradition, twins Stig and Tilde head to a desert island to survive alone. However, an unexpected detour leads them to the wrong island, and it looks like it’s inhabited by something that isn’t too fond of guests.
Praise for Stig and Tilde: Vanisher’s Island:
- “For a book that has such a clean and accessible cartooning style, and is built on what initially seems to be an uncomplicated premise, Stig & Tilde: Vanisher’s Island soon reveals itself to be a story of brooding undercurrents.”—Andy Oliver on Broken Frontier
- “Ultimately, in the grand tradition of other works of Belgian genius like Tintin, this is absolutely rivetting stuff from the get-go, with an original and thrumming pulse that at first recalls the stories of Arthur Ransome or Enid Blyton, but then drenches this relatively simple but utterly fantastic tale in a lovely coating of dark black, like a glorious bar of Belgian 100% chocolate (and just as addictive).” ReadItDaddy
Max’s 2017 comic Bastard (Fantagraphics, 2017) won the 2018 Polar SNCF and the 2018 High School Students’ Prize at the Angoulême Comic Festival. Weegee (Conundrum Press, 2016) won the 2016 Bubble Ink Awards at the Vienna Polar Festival.
