The Art of Thomas Ott

Banzai Editions

Enter the dark and obsessive world of Thomas Ott, Swiss master of scratchboard.

For nearly forty years, Ott has developed an instantly recognizable world, populated by silent nightmares, doomed characters, dark humor, and stories with disturbing endings. By scratching directly onto a black surface to reveal the light, he creates hypnotic images of extraordinary precision, somewhere between film noir, horror comics, and fever dreams.

This new volume of THE ART OF celebrates the radical black and white vision of one of the most unique artists in contemporary comics.

32 pages + bilingual booklet + 50 × 70 cm poster.
Limited edition of 1,000 copies.
