Ex Libris Trade Paperback

Ex Libris is finally available in a softcover edition, following the sold-out hardcover that quickly became a collector’s item. This inventive graphic novel draws you into the story of a character trapped in a room with only a futon and a bookcase full of comics. As they read, hidden messages and mysterious threats emerge, blurring the line between fiction and reality. With its twisty, psychological narrative, Ex Libris is perfect for fans of meta-fiction, suspense, and smart, literary comics. From acclaimed creator Matt Madden (99 Ways to Tell a Story), Ex Libris is a dazzling tribute to storytelling and the comics form itself. Inspired by literary legends like Borges, Cortázar, Nabokov, and Calvino, this book rewards every reading with new discoveries, making it a must-have for anyone who loves inventive, thought-provoking graphic novels. About the creator: Matt Madden is known worldwide for his inventive approach to comics. His celebrated works include 99 Ways to Tell a Story, Drawn Onward, and Bridge.
