In this bold experimental work, father of the British graphic novel Bryan Talbot uses structure, rhythm, form, repetition, and alteration to create an adults-only experience that is fascinating, innovative, trippy, and erotic.
Metronome is wordless. Its language is purely visual, even as it creates a sense of a sound, a beat, that can be sensed even though it is not truly heard.
Acclaimed as one of the top graphic novels of the year by New York magazine, which called it an “elegant, wordless work of art.”
Introduction by Bone creator Jeff Smith.
This book was originally published in 2008, credited to nom de plume “Véronique Tanaka”. This edition contains interviews with both Talbot and Tanaka.
Bryan Talbot has won the Eisner Award, the Mekon Award, the UK Comic Art Award, the Eagle Award, the Haxtur Award, and the Costa biography award. In 2024 he was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame.
