Publisher Description
From the imagination of legendary animator and two-time Oscar nominee Don Hertzfeldt comes a hilarious fever-dream vision of the apocalypse, now available in wide release for the first time since the rare original edition sold out.
Created during sleepless nights while he worked on his animated films, The End of the World was illustrated entirely on Post-It notes over the course of several years, slowly taking shape from all the deleted scenes, bad dreams, and abandoned ideas that were too strange to make it to the big screen, including essential early material that was later developed into the animated classic World of Tomorrow.
Hertzfeldt's visually striking work transcends its unusual nature and taps into the deeply human, universal themes of mortality, identity, memory, loss, and parenthood . . . with the occasional monstrous biting eel descending from the sky.
Customer Reviews
Absurdly funny and existentially depressing and horrifying
I expect nothing less than perfection any time I encounter any work by Don Hertzfeldt and he has never once let me down. Don is perhaps the most talented filmmaker alive and here he brings his talents to the graphic novel format (sort of). The story begins as seemingly random surreal snapshots of life told as absurd non sequiturs, gradually a tale of post-apocalyptic horror begins to take shape. Be prepared for existential dread.
