![]() ![]() Though fantastical, Harris says Vianne's world, in which seemingly ordinary people live decidedly extraordinary lives, was inspired, in part, by her own childhood. " Chocolat was very much about what makes you happy, whereas The Girl with No Shadow is what makes you afraid," Harris says. But if that first book was milk chocolate, Harris calls her latest work "dark chocolate." She describes the new novel as a dark, urban fairy tale. ![]() Harris says she took up Vianne Rocher's story again because it just didn't feel finished after Chocolat. But when an exotic stranger named Zozie enters the scene, Vianne realizes that it's not always easy to swear off the supernatural. Now a mother of two daughters, she is attempting to live a quiet, non-magical, dutifully maternal life in Montmartre. The story picks up five years after Vianne Rocher closed the door of her mystical candy shop. Joanne Harris' new novel, The Girl with No Shadow, revisits the supernaturally sensuous world of the author's 1996 book, Chocolat.

On page one, Grant Morrison sucks you in by giving you the POV of the main character, a man named Nameless. Along with letterer Simon Bowland, Morrison and team have created a fun, dark, mysterious tale with Nameless #1 - each page and each panel contains multiple meanings, some obvious, others half-hidden or more. Burham does an excellent job of bringing Morrison’s characters and environments to life, helped in large part by Nathan Fairbairn’s powerful and primordial colors. It’s a comic that I can imagine was not just written, but designed and constructed, in 3-D, inside of Morrison’s head. ![]() Nameless #1 is a heavily layered sci-fi/occult comic from the minds of writer Grant Morrison (Batman Incorporated, All-Star Superman, Doom Patrol, the Invisibles, Multiversity) and artist Chris Burnham (Batman Incorporated, The Amory Wars: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3).
