Broken Frontier

BEAUTIFUL THINGS is illustrated poetry and short stories in comic book form. It is an unusual literary book, all the 'poem-comics' are written by Sean Michael Wilson (of ‘Angel of the woods’, and ‘Manga mover’ books) and drawn by various artists from several countries, including Neill Cameron, Pedro Belushi and Juan Chavarriga.

Expressionistic, intimate, sensual, obscure, …These poem-comics are like lightening flashes in that we only see part of a situation or mood for a brief time, then its gone, leaving us wondering. Its comic book influences include Alan Moore, Adrian Tomine, Chris Reynolds, as well as the writings of Kafka and Borges.

"These poem-comics and short stories intrigue and delight… they are such eloquent and emotional, precisely written pieces, each offering a snapshot of a moment, ushering the reader into a private world… it conjures a deeply moving book that opens up the possibilities of graphic literature."
- Ian Murphy, Comics International writer.
