THE HOURGLASS COMPLEX
WASCO
What if the characters in a comic won’t stay within the panels of their story? What if they want to explore the world that lies beneath the surface of the pages they appear on?
Welcome to the strange and wondrous world of Wasco. In this beautiful crossover between art and comics, the idiosyncratic Dutch artist shows his best work along with new artwork in one volume for the first time. In mostly wordless comics, Mr. Tuitel (Mr. Hourglass) and his dog Phiwi (Pheewee) appear, disappear and re-appear in an environment that has been brought down to the essence of comics art: panels, lines, colours and shapes.
In Het Tuitel Complex (The Hourglass Complex), Wasco showcases his many and diverse graphic talents in playful, humoristic artwork.
