Autor

Gareth Brookes studied printmaking at the Royal College of Art. His graphic novels include A Thousand Coloured Castles (2017) and The Black Project, which was nominated for an award at the Angoulême International Comics Festival, 2018. His work has appeared in ArtReview, been published by Kuš, and was included in the “Comics Unmasked” exhibition at the British Library in 2014. His last graphic novel, The Dancing Plague (SelfMadeHero, 2021), was hailed by the New York Times as: "Visually stunning”: “With fire and needle, Brookes crafts a book the likes of which we’ve never seen before.” Izaak Walton (1593–1683) was an English writer, best remembered today as the author of The Compleat Angler (Richard Marriot, 1653). He also wrote a number of short Lives, including the first biographies of the poets George Herbert and John Donne.
