This paperback second edition of Basewood reincorporates the covers, introductions, letters columns and thank you pages from its initial serialization in Alec Longstreth's long-running minicomic, Phase 7. There are also 16 new pages of Basewood "fan art" drawings by various cartoonists. Basewood tells the story of a young man who wakes up in a mysterious forest with no memory of how he got there. As he discovers more about his forgotten past, he meets an old hermit who lives in a treehouse with his loyal dog, a young woman who fights for what she believes in and a giant wolf-dragon. Basewood is a fantastical story of adventure, love, loss, friendship and growth.
Alec is a cartoonist who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has been self-publishing his Ignatz Award winning comic book PHASE 7 since 2002, and his Eisner-nominated webcomic Isle of Elsi since 2016. To pay the bills, Alec works as a freelance illustrator and a comics educator.
