Dimensions: 8.5″ x 10.75”
Sufjan Stevens’ The BQE further extends its mythology by anthropomorphizing the expressway and its theoretical conceits into a 40-page comic book (cover by Matt Loux, masthead by Christian Acker), in which three extra-terrestrial superhero sisters (Botanica, Quantus, and Electress) use hula-hoops to combat the “the Messiah of Civic Projects,” Captain Moses, and his totalitarian social architecture. The comic book, written by Stevens and gorgeously drawn, colored, and inked by longtime friend and collaborator Stephen Halker, visualizes in graphic form many of the political motifs of the movie and soundtrack: mid-century urban theory, modernism, post-modernism, hoop dynamics, and the spiritual practice of Subud.
Items typically ship within 3 business days if not in pre-order. US orders are shipped from Ohio, and all orders outside of the US ship from Kraków, Poland. Shipping speed and delivery times vary. Expedited shipping not available.
