The Placebo Man :: graphic novel released

tomer:: by the end of 2000 I was done with SVA and Asaf had already signed with a publisher in France-- his first European album was about to be published. we decided to do this thing, a two person anthology, where we each contribute half of the content and the only justification for it being under one roof was our identical DNA. Bipolar was self published for the first two books, and then was picked up by Alternative Comics. The Placebo Man collects my best comics work from the past six years, including stories previously published in Bipolar and New Thing.
design by Kobi Franco- an excellent designer based in Tel-Aviv.

"Hanuka's raw, illustrative style underscores the tension and awkward fumblings toward meaning and connection that lie seething beneath the stories' surfaces." -The Washington Post.
