Peter Hoey & Maria Hoey are not married, they are brother and sister. The creative duo team lives miles apart from each other. They have been collaborating since the 90s. Animals Stories is their first full-length graphic novel.
What separates us from animals? What connects us? Award-winning cartoonists Peter and Maria Hoey probe these mysteries across six surreal and interconnected stories.
After tremendous acclaim for their seriesย Coin-Op Comics, two brilliant creators present their first graphic novel: a menagerie of wild tales. Pushing the boundaries of their dazzling and unique narrative style,ย Animal Storiesย weaves together six short stories exploring the mysterious relationships between humans and other animals.
A girl who keeps pigeons starts receiving messages from a new bird in her flock. A shipโs crew rescues a dog, only to find far stranger things in the sea around them. A reincarnated cat with criminal intentions, a parrot who leads a revolution, and a squirrel who tempts a woman in a beautiful garden glade.
Drawing inspiration from Aesopโs Fables, film noir, and the Old Testament, Peter and Maria Hoey apply their singular and sophisticated visual storytelling to create a new set of modern animal tales for modern times.
Brother and sister artists Peter and Maria Hoey live on opposite coasts but work closely together. Trading drawings back and forth from their studios in Northern California and New York. The Hoeys began writing and drawing comics inย Blab! Magazineย in the late 1990s, then launched their self-published comic book series,ย Coin-Op, in 2008. Their 2018ย Coin-Op Comics Anthology, published by Top Shelf, earned a starred review fromย Publishers Weekly. Their self-published comics have been nominated twice for Eisner Awards.ย Animal Storiesย is their first full-length graphic novel.
