Now that digital comics are established, I am interested in comics that I cannot digitize myself. The following paper works use physical objects in a unique way, primarily in how they unfold. All of these were discovered at TCAF last month.
The birth of Linda and his death by Tess Eneri Reed are two of three Estonian stories that “transform into a mural of your hands,” as Reed explains.
They are spoken in silent, calm colors and expanded in an accordion-like way. It’s fun to fold, unfold, and play with.
The ballad of bugs by Meggie Ramm is built in a similar way, but the cover is wood (!) instead of cardboard.
The interior is bright, with rhyming narration, paths to follow, and encouraging messages.
Ram also created Billy Bones, a spinning and endless comic about death.
Visually most striking was the song of the flute, the story of Sylvia, and the art of fumika. The monochrome cover doesn’t actually show the contents.
This fairy tale has several gorgeous die-cut multi-layered spreads. Fumika also got a little book in a matchbox, EMA and Apple.
