Flight Volume One

Description

FLIGHT Vol I first kicked off the FLIGHT craze. Originally published by Image Comics, Villard has purchased the rights in order to put the whole Flight library under one publisher. The FLIGHT series has propelled itself to the forefront of the graphic novel industry, garnering award nominations, creating great buzz at BEA, Comic-Con and other like-minded conventions, and generally striking a fresh note among jaded comic readers. "Most of the stories in this gorgeous colour anthology are about flying, but the title also refers to its contributors starting to take wing...As Scott McCloud notes in his afterword, they're the future of comics." - Publishers Weekly "Regardless of where it's shelved, this book belongs in every library" - Library Journal.

Kazu Kibuishi was 24 years old and working full-time in the animation industry when he began developing the idea of doing Flight. He began contacting his friends in the animation, comics, and graphic novel world to see if they would want to join the project. Little did he know that it would draw him into comics full-time. He now works from his home studio in Pasadena, California, creating and promoting Flight and his popular young adult comic Daisy Kutter, which was nominated as an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults -- the only graphic novel on the list in 2005.
