My Time Machine [Hardcover]

A hopeful meditation on the presents responsibility to the future. Strong cartooning and stronger characters  and an undercurrent of humor  make this a welcome exploration of both today and our potential tomorrows. It's a fictional story that feels strangely personal and intimate, touching on Lay's own feelings about mortality. Lay has been a phenomenal artist for decades, always with a clean and attractive style, and the precision and impeccable storytelling works just as well when theres a point to be made. Care and concern for humanity comes through in The Time Machine, as the narrator and Lay both want to issue a call to action to prevent the future they see coming. In the same way that Wells wanted to draw attention to the concerns of 19th-century England, Lay wants to warn readers that we have our problems that need solving, as well.
