In the wake of a national conspiracy, a hard-boiled detective finds himself on the wrong end of a summary execution. The killer, himself, firing two suicidal shots to the head for his revealed crimes against society. However, as the bullets tear through his synapses, something strange happens. Snapping into action, his brain refuses to give up without a fight. Taking place entirely in this one moment, No Man’s Land invites the reader to witness the inner workings of a psyche hovering between life and death.

Author of the 2010 New York Times’ Best Illustrated Children’s Book Seasons (Enchanted Lion Books), Blexbolex’s No Man's Land satirizes the mind’s ability to seduce itself – mercilessly hurtling its hero around an implausible dreamland designed to mask the processes of mortality. Blexbolex’s first full-length graphic novel is as beautiful as it is disturbing. This book employs Nobrow’s spot color print process, only used by a handful of publishers worldwide. The artisanal qualities of this method give the books a screen-printed feel that elevates them to another level of quality.
