Lush colors, wild imagination, and rich human themes collide in the Top Shelf debut of Belgian cartoonist Brecht Evens (The Wrong Place). Night Animals is a deluxe full-color comic book containing two wordless stories, each a feast for the mind as well as the eyes. Join an innocent young girl as she becomes a woman and learns where the wild things are, then follow a rabbit-suited man as his blind date becomes the epic journey of a lifetime. These gorgeous, bewitching tales are not to be missed! — A super-deluxe 48-Page FULL-COLOR Comic Book, 6.75″ x 9.25″
“Fantastic. Evens’ linework is wonderful… but his coloring is even better.” — Douglas Wolk, TIME.com
“An impressively powerful story… and one that’s going to stick in my brain for awhile.” — Graeme McMillan, TIME.com
“A kaleidoscope of lurid detail and beauty… this is by far the best collection of naked parading monsters in the history of print.” — Sean Edgar, Paste Magazine
“I can tell that Evens had a good time drawing this book, designing all of these creatures and imagining their worlds… because it spills off every page.” — Michael May, Robot 6
“Evens makes one hell of an impression without saying anything at all… touching graphic stories that should feel immediately accessible to anyone, anywhere.” — Mallory Gevaert, ALARM
“As a visual object, a pure sense experience, this is very successful work, enthralling and gorgeous in a way not many other comics are.” — Matt Seneca, The Comics Journal
48 page full color paperback
