About This Item
New York : Sterling Publishing Co, 2007. Hardcover. Like New. 11x9x1. Hardcover. Call me Ishmael.â Three of the most famous words in all literature, they begin Herman Melvilleâs masterpiece, Moby-Dick. Now, the epic saga of Captain Ahabâs obsessive quest for the white whale comes vividly to life in this three-dimensional graphic novel, the first of its kind. This phenomenal work is the creation of multi-talented artist Sam Ita, apprentice to Robert Sabuda one of the worldâs master paper engineers. Every amazing element is awe-inspiring: thereâs not just one pop-up per spread, but several, surrounded by colorful comic book-style panels that convey the storyâs drama.Some of the pops-ups are huge and incredibly detailed, like the Pequod itself, which rises gloriously from the page, complete with rigging. Others, smaller but no less wonderful, hide beneath flaps and folds. In one instance, readers actually get to look through a 3-D periscope and see Ishmael through the lens,â drifting in the ocean.The quality of Itaâs paper engineering is nothing short of breathtaking and will carry you off on an unforgettable adventure.<br><br>CONDITION: Covers are unmarked. All pop-ups are intact and working well. Full refund if not satisfied.
