By Laurence Hyde.
This stunning wordless graphic novel tells the story of the atomic bomb testing done by the U.S. in the South Pacific following World War II. The story of one family's experiences during the evacuation on the island of Bikini Atoll is told with beautifully detailed wood engravings! This new hardcover is a facsimile of the original edition published in 1951, complete with the original 118 wood engravings and the original introduction by Rockwell Kent. Also included in this landmark edition are two essays by Hyde about the process of wood engraving and a short history of the woodcut novel. Fans of Masreal and Lynd Ward take note!
