Get the book!

Here it is! The English edition of my graphic novel 566 Frames. You can now buy it on my publishers' website (click).

"In his seductively sharp graphic novel Dennis Wojda takes the reader for a ride through Imperial Russia to Nazi-occupied Warsaw, ending up in Stockholm in the Swinging Sixties.

A bitingly clever and genuinely touching tale that includes witches, psychics and horse murderers.
Wojda has a gift for creating vivid characters; he goes straight to the heart of things in his graphic memoir, pitching his ancestors' stories in a variety of ways – funny, creepy, tragic, comedic and desperate.

566 Frames is a comic-book with a real heart."

The Book

What started as a blog has now progressed into a book. 566 kadrów (566 frames) was recently published by W.A.B. It'a a beautiful book and I hope there will be an English edition one day.

Have a look inside the book here.

BLURB | by Max Andersson

"566 frames" moves freely through time, space and human destiny, but never lose its thread or grip on the reader. A book that in a completely natural way defies the laws of nature.

MAX ANDERSSON – Swedish comic artist and film director

This blurb will appear on the cover of the forthcoming book "566 frames".

An explanation

In 2010 I decided to make a comic in 366 days. It was supposed to be an experiment, a stream of consciousness in slow motion. I made one frame almost every day, thus keeping my word. But the story didn't end there. I kept on drawing until I reached frame number 566.

A book called "566 kadrów" was published in April 2013 by W.A.B. in Poland. The UK edition of "566 Frames" was published by Borderline Press in October 2013.

This comic is inspired by anecdotes about my family. The storyline is part fiction, part real. All persons portrayed are real.

"Writing is seeing how close you can come to make it happen, that's the object of all art." William S. Burroughs
