Italian publisher Hollow Press continues to wander into the international underground scene and, after releasing books by Japanese Tetsunori Tawaraya and Shintaro Kago earlier this year, comes back in the old continent with French artist Gabriel Delmas. Inspired by Francisco Goya’s Saturno devorando a un hijo, Delmas tells a story from the dawn of time, when the world was obscure and hostile, inhabited by strange and frightful creatures. The greatest among them, the Largemouths, fought for the domination of the continents, while men took their first step on Earth and spectral entities created the earliest forms of art.
Largemouths is a wordless book of 688 black and white pages, printed in size 16 x 21,5 cm on munken paper of 80g, 2 full-color interior pages, full-color cover and backcover, stitched paperback binding, “mushroom” plasticization, price 29 eur. The book is out on September 15th but you can pre-order it with a 15% discount until September 13th. Hollow Press is also selling a few original artworks and a Giclée print signed by Delmas in a limited edition of 18.
Below a preview of some interior pages.
