[comix] MY UNCLE JEFF
COMING FROM ALTERNATIVE THIS SUMMER
Gainesville, Florida, April 30, 2003: Alternative Comics announced that it will release the new edition of Damon Hurd and Pedro Camello’s Eisner Award nominated picture novella,
My Uncle Jeff, debuting the first Alternative Comics edition at Comic-Con International: San Diego this August.
Nominated for the 2003 Eisner Award for “Best Single Issue,” this touching and compelling narrative tells the true story of a young man who encounters his favorite uncle for the first time in ten years and reflects on a childhood hero through adult eyes. This is a work that resonates with emotion, pain, love, and true sentiment. My Uncle Jeff is the debut release of beta, a series of graphic novels by Damon Hurd.
My Uncle Jeff is by Damon Hurd and Pedro Camello; $3.95; 32 pages; ISBN: 1-891867-56-3.
Damon Hurd is twenty-four years old, happily married to someone far smarter than him, and lives too far north of New York City. Besides writing and reading comix, he frequents jazz clubs, and brews amazingly good beer. One can usually find him at pubs in a little town called New Paltz where he sucks at pool, but excels at drinking. His work includes the recently released
My Uncle Jeff, as well as the forthcoming works,
A Sort of Homecoming and
The White Elephant.
