Before & After

An enticing collection of before-and-after scenarios, created by master artist and acclaimed author of This Is Not A Book

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Graphic artist Jean Jullien insightfully and comically depicts a set of clever and surprising before-and-after two-frame narratives, each progressed by a page turn. From pale skin to sunburned skin, dirty to clean, long hair to short hair (to long again), Jullien masterfully builds anticipation and a satisfying resolution with each pairing.

Striking the perfect balance of predictability and unexpectedness, Before & After will leave readers in wonder as they flip back and forth.
