From the acclaimed author of Bottomless Belly Button comes a collection of his short-comics work and the designs for his first-ever animated series for IFC.com.
The first quarter of this jacketed hardcover will collect the work-storyboards, scripts, character designs, etc.-that Shaw has created for "The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D." animated series to begin airing on IFC.com on December 7th, 2009. The latter three-quarters will collect his acclaimed short stories from MOME, as well as several little-seen stories from elsewhere, and a new 20-page story.
The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D. is Shawâ€™s first book since his breakthrough graphic novel of 2008, Bottomless Belly Button, which was named Publishers Weeklyâ€™s best graphic novel of 2008, one of Entertainment Weeklyâ€™s top ten books of 2008, and one of Amazon.comâ€™s top ten graphic novels of the year, amongst numerous other accolades.

The book also collects Shawâ€™s acclaimed, genre-bending short stories from MOME, including â€œLook Forward, First Son of Terra Two,â€ a remarkable story of two lovers traveling in opposite directionsâ€¦ in time. Also featured: â€œGalactic Funnels,â€ the 2008 Ignatz Award nominee for â€œOutstanding Story,â€ about the parasitic relationship between an artist and his lover/mentor; â€œSatellite CMYK,â€ a sci-fi mindwarp that ingeniously drives the narrative through Shawâ€™s masterful control of color, and â€œMaking the Abyss,â€ a fictionalized story of a surreal film set filled with nuclear tanks, hot tubs, and blind ambition.

â€œLike the very best illustrated fiction, Shawâ€™s work moves between pathos and humor, between the fantastic and the familiar.â€â€•The Christian Science Monitor

â€œShawâ€™s style deftly combines cartoon drawings with a slavish attention to detailâ€¦Masterfully using the comics medium to juggle all the different characters, weaving their stories together seamlessly.â€â€•Publishers Weekly Full color
