Reincarnation Stories - Hardcover

Kim Deitch lives in New York, NY, with his wife, the artist Pamela Butler. His books include The Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Shadowland, Alias the Cat, and The Search for Smilin' Ed!

“Kim Deitch, a mainstay of the underground comix movement, gives a full display of his ebullient creativity in his new book, Reincarnation Stories.”
- The New Yorker

“Reincarnation Stories goes flamboyantly off the rails, making a hash of narrative throughlines and pulverizing the divide between truth and fiction. Underneath the appearance of lawlessness, there's a huge amount of craft and care.”
- NPR Books

“Deitch has created one of the most complex, sprawling, strange and great ongoing works of American art ― in any medium ― of the last century. The latest volume in his universe is Reincarnation Stories, and it’s one of his very best. At 75 years old, [Deitch] is creating more vibrant and exciting work than other graphic novelists half his age.”
- Chris Ware, The Guardian

“Deitch's latest ― and most ambitious ― graphic novel explodes with the full range of his visual styles.”
- The Paris Review

“Gloriously mad and bordering on nonsensical, this ribald Rubik's Cube of a book feels both like paean to 1960s alternative comix, which Deitch helped define, and gleefully ignorant of any tether whatsoever.”
- Publishers Weekly

“Deitch’s love of classic films, old cartoons, and 1960s psychedelia is clear, and aliens, demons, talking cats, and time travel abound in these beautifully crafted, wonderfully surprising stories.”
- Library Journal

“A joyful, labyrinthine, and profoundly strange journey through the cosmic history of creator Kim Deitch.”
