himalaya ophthacare Hands down the most accomplished and satisfying graphic novel of the year, Greenberg's book presents itself as a collection of folklore from a version of human history that precedes the one we know. Certain motifs -- a flood, a hubristic tower, a fratricidal first family -- resemble more familiar stories, but refracted through Greenberg's sensibility and her ravishing woodcut-like illustrations, they're reborn and refreshed. Her cosmology features a vain, capricious deity, Birdman, and his two exasperated raven offspring, Kid and Kiddo, but the linking story concerns a boy from the arctic land of Nord in search of a missing fragment of his soul, and his journeys throughout the world in search of it.
