About This Item

1st Edition.8vo, pictorial red cloth.

In nearly 200 wordless images the graphic story follows an unnamed woman whose life of poverty and misfortune drives her to infanticide, prostitution, and murder. Delphin-Verlag.

Destiny was the first graphic novel with leadcut images instead of the more common woodcuts used by artists such as Frans Masereel. The process allowed a greater depth of character and inspired Lynd Ward to tackle the medium, beginning with Gods' Man in 1929. Ward's success brought about this U.S. publication of Destiny in 1930. Literary scholars have praised the work for the complexity of its plot, its social consciousness, and its focus on an individual character. Destiny first appeared in German [SchicksalI] in 1926.

CONDITION: Good; faded backstrip; starting at the title page gutter; lacking d/w

About Armadillo & Dicker Books & Ephemera

80 Years of Selling Things People Could Easily Live Without -- but now Online only.*****CONDITION: We are conservative graders. If we say FINE you can count on it. If there are any minor defects [e.g. minor shelf-wear] they will be noted. VERY GOOD means there is light shelf or surface-wear, possibly some light age-toning, maybe a prior owner's inked name inside -- but no significant defects. GOOD means we wish we had a better copy too, but still in collectable condition. Any significant defects will be noted. FAIR usually means the interior is good or better but the covers are heavily worn. POOR means both the interior and the covers are damaged. Again, significant defects will be noted.
