Bhanu Pratap CUTTING SEASON
Cutting Season features 16 short stories that collectively showcase the singular style and vision of New Delhi cartoonist Bhanu Pratap
Seamlessly blending distortion, abstraction, romance, sex, body horror, isolation, violence, color, humor, and a seductive sense of design and composition (or, as the artist puts it, “love, gags, shit, holes, crashes, and bodies”), Cutting Season is an unnerving and sustained howl, in comics form, that demands attention like a raw, exposed nerve.

"Pratap makes haunting, vivid stories in a netherworld between gag strips and poetry." - The Comics Journal
"You may already be familiar with Bhanu Pratap's comics for his contributions to Fantagraphics' anthology series NOW: The New Comics Anthology. Now his work will be getting its own showcase collection courtesy of Fantagraphics' Underground imprint. Great news." - Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
"By first marrying, then utterly giving in to, his artistic and psychosexual impulses, by luxuriating in the excesses he delineates with such frankly awe-inspiring attention to their fundamentals, Pratap is drawing readers into a world exclusively and entirely his own, and leaving you to make of it what you will. Language will only get you so far when it comes to describing this stuff." - Four Color Apocalypse
