Publisher's Synopsis

Three adult siblings return to their family's quaint holiday home a year after their father's death. They each bring their respective wives, husbands, and children there with the intention to clean up the residence and put it on the market. But as rubbish is hauled off and dust is wiped away, decades-old resentment quickly fills the vacant home. At once deeply personal (dedicated to Roca's own deceased father) and entirely universal, The House asks what happens to brothers and sisters when the only person holding the family together is gone.

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.
