DEBUTING AT TCAF 2020: Lost Things by fenta

$10 CDN, Published by Paradise Systems, ISBN: 978-1-951078-91-1 Offset comic / color / 44 pages / 5 x 3.5” In light of TCAF 2020 cancelling, we are sharing comics and zines that were scheduled to debut at the festival.

The characters in fenta's work are moved by emotions that they cannot express or fully comprehend. These three vignettes each revolve around something that seems to be just out of reach, but vital. 

This book is part of Paradise Systems' series of contemporary lianhuanhua.

Available now on our website! Bad Boy Diaries II by fenta is a truly remarkable print-object. This is a box set of six mini-comics, each one focusing on a different vignette inspired by fenta's experiences growing up as a bad boy. Each page is packaged in a plastic sleeve, like a miniature photo album. In the back of each mini-comic are photos from fenta's childhood. For this special edition of Bad Boy Diaries II, fenta made an English-language insert that translates all the text on the comics. 

Image description: Photos of the set which is roughly palm-sized. The mini-comics have a paper binding on one side and plastic wrapped pages on the other. The art style is black and white linework with no space between the panels.
