Barrier

Barrier Synopsis

From the Eisner Award-winning team behind The Private Eye, BARRIER is a shockingly prescient drama about violence, language, and illegal immigration…with a spectacular sci-fi twist.

"Provocative and challenging, this work rewards patient readers and will make a good addition to graphic novel collections interested in socially engaged, formally inventive storytelling." -Library Journal (Starred Review)

When Texas rancher Liddy and Honduran immigrant Óscar collide on the U.S.-Mexico border, neither can understand the other's words-but both are forced to rely on trust when they're thrust into an unimaginable encounter. Told in English and Spanish without translation, Barrier is a visually stunning, genre-bending story that explores the walls we build between nations, cultures, and each other.

Collected for the first time in its original "widescreen" format-and perfectly complementing Image's new softcover edition of THE PRIVATE EYE-this gorgeous new edition contains the entire Harvey Award-winning miniseries.
