Nearly fine, new, clean, crisp and unread scarce stated first edition with the full number line including the 1. This striking, large and heavy hardcover is half-bound in what looks like a dense pressed cardboard with individual blindstamped impressions of Asterios to each panel; dressed in a jacket and smoking to the front and in shirtsleeves without a cigarette to the rear panel. The other half-panel is a deep purple with blue and white titles, the colored endpapers decorated with sketches of flowers...and some weeds. The wraparound pictorial dust jacket-band is sized to about 4/5ths of the book's height. This beautifully illustrated graphic novel of painterly images and muted colors even distinguishs each character's dialog in thought balloons with appropriately unique fonts. Asterios Polyp is a successfully ambitious novel, elegant and epic. David Mazzucchelli is an acclaimed comics artist/writer and his peers and other readers waited many years for this stunning tour-de-force.
