Secret Project Revealed



Dave Sim, the Canadian born comic book writer (Cerebus the Aardvark) has finally revealed his much anticipated 'secret project' entitled Judenhass.

Neil Gaiman:

"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."
Marv Wolfman:
"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.'"
Judenhass is Sim's cold, unrelenting, photo-realistic examination of the holocaust. The title translates directly into 'hatred of the jews.' Writing began in 2005 in response to the liberation of Auschwitz, and it's spring release will tie into the 60th anniversary of the founding of Israel.

To avoid trivialization of the horrific events, Sim has chosen not to actively market this book as he has with other titles. His hopes is that word of mouth alone will put this book into the readers' hands.
