Gemma Bovery #[nn]

Posy Simmonds' Gemma Bovery arrives in this 2011 Reprodukt edition, its deep blue cover framing a portrait-medallion of the blonde, red-lipped Gemma herself — eyes downcast, elegant and melancholy against ornate Victorian-style scrollwork. The cameo presentation feels deliberately literary, hinting at the romantic and ironic sensibility that runs through Simmonds' work. A quietly striking package for fans of illustrated storytelling that bridges comics and the graphic novel tradition.
