Description
'Lunatic' is an unusual and striking graphic novel in the tradition of wordless books by the likes of Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward and William Gropper.
Part fable, part classic adventure in the tradition of Jules Verne, H.
G. Wells and M(c)li¬s, the tale is told in nearly 200 full-page, wordless images in a variety of media from pencil, pen and ink, ink wash and paint that lovingly evoke the artistic styles of its period setting, and classic illustrators from Charles Dana Gibson and Toulouse Lautrec to Edward Gorey.
The word 'lunatic' derives from Latin, meaning 'of the moon', or 'moonstruck' and in this sense it describes the protagonist of this story: from infancy she develops a magical, almost intimate relationship with the moon itself, a celestial being who acts as her friend, lover, mentor.

We follow her through the stages of life, infancy, childhood, youth and adulthood, at each point guided by
