The Man Who Grew His Beard by Olivier Schrauwen
3.0
A very interesting graphic work, stories with very limited narration or explanation that allow the reader to interpret plot however they see fit. And I very much enjoyed doing so.
My favorite of the series was the origin of humanity in a drop of ink. I also enjoyed the not always constant sizes of fellow's beards.
The art was imaginative and detailed, each page an artwork in it's own right. This is not a traditional comic book though. Although there could be some superheroes in the story, there is no overarching story plot, though there were some pretty epic battles, especially in the last story where a man's race to catch a train reaches some pretty mind bending levels.
