Giraffes on Horseback Salad

2020 Eisner Award Nominee for Best Adaptation from Another MediumNamed a Best Comic & Graphic Novel of March 2019 by B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy blog“Don’t even try to understand; just revel in the weirdness, along with the wonderful photographs and other archival material Frank includes in this book.”—Maureen Corrigan, National Public Radio“It’s a remarkable book.”—The Washington Post“Giraffes on Horseback Salad makes a good book.”—Etelka Lehoczky, National Public Radio“A really cool, funny, abstract graphic novel.”—CNET“Classic cinema buffs and Dalí fanatics will appreciate the care and effort taken by the authors.”—Booklist“This graphic novel is utterly one of a kind…the overall page compositions are exceptional, bursting with motion, mind-bending patterns, and wildly shifting color schemes…This messy, imperfect, fearless visual buffet is almost certainly better than any film version would have been.”—Publishers Weekly“The graphic novel is a fun read in its own right, and the well-told story behind the story makes it an interesting part of Hollywood’s history.”—San Diego Jewish World “A book that should satisfy fans of Dali or the Marx Brothers, or anyone looking for something completely outside the norm.”—Foreword Reviews“A most strange yet passionately earnest graphic novel…A lavish layout, with a nice overall design and chock full of opening essays and forewords that bring the reader along on Frank’s quest to find and bring Dali’s half-baked project to full fruition.“—Geeks Of Doom“A sense of marvel persists throughout the book.”—Hyperallergic “This book is a gallery, a museum, a riotous romp of art that reverberates through personal and public history and will make your dwelling’s shelves (and your mind) a little loonier.”—The Austin Chronicle
