Description
Intoxicated by the promise of a promotion, Charles Singular for once allows himself a small extravagance: he buys a bowler hat. But there's a problem: this is no ordinary hat. This one once belonged to the surrealist painter Ren\u00e9 Magritte, and by donning it Charles has unwittingly stepped into the artist's off-kilter world. What's more, he can't escape - at least, not until he has illuminated the secrets behind Magritte's work. What follows is a hallucinatory journey through Magritte's imaginative landscape, a place where facial features mutate, the crescent moon appears in unexpected places, and answers prove frustratingly elusive. In Magritte: This is not a Biography, Vincent Zabus and Thomas Campi have created a panoramic and revealing portrait of the great surrealist, employing a playfulness and wit reminiscent of Magritte himself.

Reviews"...the graphic novel's overall playfulness, especially its visual riffs on Magritte's paintings, is a fitting tribute to the artist, and one perfectly suited to the comics form." PopMatters
