The Sculptor by Scott McCloud
Requirements: CBR Reader, 494 MB
Overview: David Smith is giving his life for his art – literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding what to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the eleventh hour isn’t making it any easier. This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous portrait of the world’s greatest city. It’s also about the small, warm, human moment of everyday life. Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work, now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking new work.

- The Sculptor is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Scott McCloud published in 2015. It tells of a David Smith whom Death gives 200 days to live in exchange for the power to sculpt anything he can imagine. Complications set in when David falls in love.
26-year-old New York-based artist David Smith is dealing with a difficult life—his family are dead, his patron has abandoned him, and he is broke—when Death greets him in the guise of a dead uncle. Death offers David the power to sculpt anything he wishes, at the cost of having only 200 days to live. David accepts, but comes to regret it when he falls in love with an actor named Meg.
Scott McCloud built a reputation as a formalist in comics. He first brought attention to his work with the comic-book series Zot! (1984—1990). He rose to prominence in 1993 with Understanding Comics, a theoretical work on the comics medium executed in comics. He was an early pioneer of webcomics, a form whose formal boundaries he dedicated himself to pushing. In middle age he came to feel he had a "big, gaping hole in [his] résumé" in that he had built a large body of theoretical work but had not produced a substantial stand-alone work of fiction. The Sculptor was the first such work McCloud had published in twenty years.
McCloud spent five years developing the book. He began by making a complete rough outline, to which he made repeated revisions until he was satisfied, and went through four drafts over the first two years. The 496-page book appeared from First Second Books on February 3, 2015.
McCloud accompanied the book’s publication with a worldwide promotional tour, beginning in the US and followed by Europe with planned visits to mid-year North American festivals including the MoCCA Festival, the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, and the San Diego Comic-Con.
