out of stock"Roughly translated from Swedish as 'a thousand strong hearts,' this anthology attempts to present difficult, challenging work alongside the art of rarely-translated European artists in a package that is cheap and accessible. All too often, the most experimental work and the strongest-yet-unavailable-in-the-USA European comics are only available in price prohibitive editions. Tusen Hjärtan Stark will present uncompromising work for an entry fee of $3. Each contributor also has 7 to 8 pages to work with. Anthologies---in my view---suffer from short unfocused contributions. A 50 page anthology full of one page strips often never rises above being a sampler. 8 pages allows for the reader to enter any artists world and stay there for a solid amount of time. As this anthology features 3 artists with radically different approaches, the reader will move from one aesthetic to another, with just enough time in each to feel and think." – Austin English
