Publisher's Synopsis

Eleanor Davis is one of the finest cartoonists of her generation, and she's been producing comics since the mid-2000s. Representing the best stories she's drawn for such venues as MOME and Nobrow, as well as her own self-published and web efforts, Davis achieves a rare, subtle poignancy in her narratives. At once compelling and elusive, but always impregnated with mystery and deep emotional resonance, How to Be Happy will be a delight to readers and illustrators alike.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
