Written and illustrated by Dave Sim, creator of CEREBUS and GLAMOURPUSS. Dave Sim's "Secret Project" has been revealed -- a searing, photo-realistic examination of the historical roots of the Holocaust through quotes from historical personage drawn in a photorealism style from period photographs. The 56-page, perfect bound JUDENHASS (literally "hatred of Jews") was begun in 2005 in response to the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and it will be published this spring during the 60th anniversary of the founding of Israel. Sim's visual meditation on the Holocaust has had a profound effect on the industry figures who have seen the entire work. Neil Gaiman's comment was typical: "Judenhass is an astonishing piece of work. Painful and real and unflinching. I don't remember the last comic I read that made me cry, but this did," while Marv Wolfman added: "Judenhass is endlessly disturbing, often unpleasant and incessantly horrifying in its stark coldness. The quotes should never be forgotten or made light of. It is why all people of good will say, 'Never again.'" MATURE THEMES. SC, 56pgs, B&W
