Plot
An American Book Award winner and an Editor's Choice of The New York Times, Flood! is the powerful first graphic novel by Eric Drooker, frequent cover artist for The New Yorker. Flood! is a modern novel written in the ancient language of pictures, with an expressionist, film noir edge. This 'definitive edition' of Flood! is a unique record of our country's turbulent past-and corporate present-and a must-read for students of graphic storytelling. This third edition also features a new cover by Drooker and a complete re-design. Flood!: A Novel in Pictures, was followed by Drooker's acclaimed book, Blood Song: A Silent Ballad. ? The Library of Congress has recently acquired Eric Drooker's original Flood! artwork to rest in their public prints collection, alongside graphic novel pioneer Lynd Ward's originals.

Claramente influido por La Ciudad, de Frans Masereel, Eric Drooker ilustra un relato universal - del sincretismo a la estética urbana y al contexto post industrial- con apariencia xilográfica. Sin dar respiro, fuente inagotable de referencias culturales, Flood! construye su propia narrativa redonda, de varias lecturas. He aquí su paradoja, pues solo con viñetas y apenas texto de soporte -cuatro páginas- elabora un cómic de referencia, donde está presente el metalenguaje del medio. En definitiva: literatura dentro de la literatura. O lo que es lo mismo: arte más allá del arte. Sublime
