Swiss comic artist and illustrator Thomas Ott has gained a worldwide reputation, with works represented in many collections and some of his stories adapted for film. Ott’s blacker than black scraperboard technique combines a pictorial idiom that evokes film while telling nightmarishly dismal stories. The skilfully rendered images form an oppressive contrast with the nonverbal character of the narratives. This book offers a first-ever survey of Ott’s multifaceted oeuvre, from his first works for the magazine ‘Strapazin’ to ‘Tales of Error’ and other celebrated comic collections, his work on animations and live-action films, and even the drawings he has produced for installations.
