The lowdown on Gregory Benton’s ‘B+F’

Brooklyn-based artist Gregory Benton’s labor of love, “B+F,” is hitting this fall and it deserves your attention.

Benton had drawn a 17-page version for the 2013 MoCCA Fest in the spring, in a limited, oversized edition. The work won a festival prize. Then came buzz and an exhibit at the Society of Illustrators.

Now, the affable Benton’s getting to take the book wide. A 64-page version of the story will be published in October by Adhouse in the US and Editions Ça et La in France.

As Benton, an early Friend of Parallel Worlds, put it: “’B+F’ explores an otherworldly terrain with a woman and a dog as they encounter its denizens, both benevolent and malicious. It’s a wordless meditation on goodwill, hostility, and isolation.”

The hardcover will run $24.95 and, among other places, can be ordered at your fave comic shop through Diamond.
