Gleem
Enter a future of defiant vitality in GLEEM
Imbued with cyberpunk attitude and in the rebellious tradition of afrofuturism, GLEEM is drawn with a fierce momentum hurtling towards a future world. Carrasco's distinct cinematic style layers detailed panels and spreads, creating a multiplicity of perspectives, at once dizzying and hypnotic. Vignettes unspool in proximity to our own social realities and expand into the outer layers of possibility. Whether in the club or a robot repair workshop, the characters in these three interconnected stories burst across frames until they practically step off the page.

"Nobody's doing space and time the way Freddy Carrasco does." --Michael DeForge
"GLEEM is a peek into the dazzling, euphoric world of one of the generation's most influential voices." --Chaz Bear "Many Western artists draw inspiration from manga, but far fewer successfully adapt the form to Western milieus. Frank Miller and Moebius are two; Carrasco is another." --Sam Thielman, The New York Times "An Afro-futuristic world where the kids are alright but looking for more... Throughout GLEEM, narratives and images blur into one another, making you look again and again, longer and more intently each time." --Hyperallergic "Dynamic cyberpunk in a Taiyō Matsumoto veil [where] Blackness exists in a dangerous place outside the security of citizenship--in the real world." --The Comics Beat
