Winnie-The-Pooh by Travis Dandro and A.A. Milne. Cover by Dandro. Out in April.

"The beloved children's classic appears as a graphic novel for the first time! Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize winner Travis Dandro takes a left turn from his detailed autobiography and returns with the charming tales of Winnie-the-Pooh. In 2015, the A. A. Milne childrens' classic, long since viewed as the benchmark for intelligent and whimsical storytelling, slipped into the public domain. Dandro expands the world of Hundred Acre Wood in all directions, creating stunning full-page tableaus where Pooh and everybody's favorite characters - Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, and of course, Christopher Robin - to romp, argue, fail, and love. Indebted to the unforgettable pen-and-ink drawings of E. H. Shephard, this addition to the canon of timeless literature for all ages encompasses all of Winnie-the-Pooh's original adventures, alongside a brand-new story from Dandro created exclusively for this volume."

Pages from King of King Court, a memoir by Travis Dandro

King of King Court is engrossing. Dandro has the rare ability to look back at his childhood with eyes wide open, both the hardships, but just as crucially, the moments of humor and goodness. The book almost seems to be written and drawn by a precocious little kid with the supernatural ability to see and hear everything. Visceral, idiosyncratic, funny, terrifying. It’s really remarkable.

— Nick Drnaso, cartoonist of Sabrina

IL y a des BD visuellement exceptionnelles, d'autres où l'intrigue nous rend accro, ou qui développent une ambiance qu'on apprécie... Et puis il y a ça, des BD comme Mon père, cet enfer, qui est littéralement un coup de poing dans la gueule. Ça raconte l'histoire vraie (celle de l'auteur) d'un enfant qui va se construire face à un père violent et autodestructeur. Cela aurait pu aboutir soit à un récit larmoyant soit à une œuvre insupportable à lire de part la violence de son sujet, et c'est tout autre chose. C'est peut-être la démonstration magistrale et sensible du monde de l'enfance, et de sa relation à la vie. C'est puissant, drôle et tragique, ça prend aux tripes à chaque case. Des œuvres comme ça, on en croise pas tous les jours.

Do We Make Meaning? Reviewing King Of King Court By Travis Dandro

Do We Make Meaning? Reviewing King Of King Court By Travis Dandro

Travis Dandro‘s King of King Court: A Memoir (out now from Drawn and Quarterly) is a thick book but reads fairly fast. However, this is not to say that it’s a light read. Chronicling Dandro’s childhood at age six, it intersperses glimpses of the world from a child’s eye (a cookie on the ground with ants crawling on it for example) to glimpses into the interior workings of the dysfunctional…
