Crawl Space
Crawl Space | Jesse Jacobs
6 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
In the basement, through the appliances and past the veil that separates realities, lies a rainbow-hued world where a group of kids have found retreat from their suburban mundanity with a coterie of iridescent creatures. But in the fraught realm of adolescence, can friendship survive the appeal of the surreal? Jesse Jacobs was born in Moncton, NB, and now draws comics and things from his home in Hamilton, ON. In 2009, his books Small Victories and Blue Winter were short listed at the Doug Wright Awards for Canadian Cartooning. He received the Gene Day Award for Canadian Comic Book Self-Publisher of 2008. Even the Giants (AdHouse, 2011) marked his major publishing debut after several award-winning, self-published titles, and his work has appeared in the acclaimed Latvian comics anthology !, as well as the 2012 edition The Best American Comics edited by Fran?oise Mouly and published Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. He made his debut with Koyama Press in 2012 with the psychedelic creation myth By This Shall You Know Him, which was followed by the trippy take on nature versus nurture, Safari Honeymoon in 2014.

Winner of Canada‘s Doug Wright Best Book award, this graphic novel is absolutely mesmerizing. It‘s sort of a mashing together of the portal from Narnia (in this case, laundry appliances), some horror, transcendental drug narratives of the ‘70s, and classic YA cautionary tales like Zindel‘s The Pigman. It‘s also something completely different and it‘s gorgeous. It‘s about feeling alienated and getting lost in another world. I love it.

The artwork in this is outstanding. Simple black and white real-life suburbia contrasts with a psychedelic alternate reality.

“Hey, can you not tell any of the kids at school about all this? I‘m still trying to fit in. I don‘t want to be known as the girl with the magical appliances.”
