    Contact: Alec Longstreth • [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE More info: www.alec-longstreth.com/basewood/ a graphic novel TEN YEARS in the making! by ALEC LONGSTRETH “Drawn with delicate precision, brimming with heart and adventure, Basewood is an exquisite gem of a work. It’s a genuine miracle that a comic this beautifully unique exists at all.” – James Kochalka “Longstreth’s deceptively simple drawings of this harsh world filled with axes, ropes, pulleys, and levers, a place where you must bend nature with your bare hands to survive, have a layered intricacy that looks like something that should be carved on a medieval cathedral. One of my favorite books to spend time with.” – Jeff Smith “Alec Longstreth is the most generous and enthusiastic cartoonist I’ve ever met, and his work brims over with that same contagious energy. His greatest work to date, Basewood, is a full sensory immersion into a meticulously-crafted, warm-hearted, and most of all epic world.” – Craig Thompson ABOUT BASEWOOD: Adventure! Mystery! Tree houses! A Wolf-Dragon! Basewood tells the story of a young man who wakes up in the woods, with no memory of how he got there. The reader follows along as our hero tries to uncover the details of his mysterious past. Drawn in a highly-detailed crosshatching style, this graphic novel took over ten years to write and draw. This beautiful, hardback edition of Basewood was funded by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign that surpassed its $10,000 funding goal after only 48 hours. A French translation of Basewood was published by L’employé du Moi in 2012, and now the book is finally available here in the United States.

While autobiographical comics may seem like an odd crib sheet to use to learn about the human condition, their confessional style provides readers like me with the answers to the questions we dare not ask. I equate reading an autobiographical comic with the occurrence of a stranger handing you his diary, staring meaningfully into your eyes and saying, “I want you to read this… all of it. Oh, and just so you know, I drew pictures of everything that happened, too.” I first became interested in autobiographical comics and graphic novels after reading some of Jeffrey Brown’s comics in 2005. There was something about his loose, sketchbook-style illustrations that made his work accessible to a newly minted comics fan such as myself. There were no superpowers, no buxom women and no maniacal villains in his comics… just real stories. Right when I was on the brink of exhausting Brown’s catalogue, Peter Birkemoe, the co-owner of The Beguiling1, suggested that I expand my interests. When he rang up my latest purchase, he said, “If you like this stuff, you should try reading some John Porcellino.” I promptly swept up Porcellino’s King-Cat Classix: The Best of King-Cat Comics and Stories and I soon discovered other autobiographical cartoonists including Chester Brown, Joe Matt, Lucy Knisley and Harvey Pekar.
