Publisher Marketing: Dazzling art from a dazzling mind. ... Regé's kaleidoscopic narrative fuses fantasy, science fiction, theology, and hermeneutic visions, and the busy, technically precise but ultrasimplified art is somehow the perfect visual distillation of all.-- "Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)" Brief Description : "The sleeping figure on the cover hints at the dream logic that drives this visual feast of a graphic novel. It can't all be explained, and it isn't meant to be explained. Ron Regâe, Jr. is one of the singular cartoonists of his generation, an unusual but skilled stylist and storyteller with an acutely passionate moral and idealistic core that stands out amongst his peers. Halcyon is a spiritual cousin to Regâe's 2012 graphic novel The Cartoon Utopia, which has garnered a following in new age and hermeneutic studies circles and in which higher beings try to communicate with us through art, music, and storytelling -- a theme revisited here via the book's central characters. Halcyon is the work of a cartoonist at the height of his powers, a superlative use of the form in the service of relating the author's compassionate -- and visually stunning -- worldview."-- Review Quotes : Fans of Regé's The Cartoon Utopia will eat this book up, and new readers are sure to be enchanted by its dreamy, contemplative art.-- "AIPT Comics" Publisher Marketing : The sleeping figure on the cover hints at the dream logic that drives this visual feast of a graphic novel.
