The Hunting Accident
March 3, 2018 3:15 PM Subscribe
The Hunting Accident, a graphic novel written by David L. Carlson and illustrated by Landis Blair, follows the true story of Charlie, the son of Matt Rizzo, a blind Chicago poet, as he learns the truth about his father. As Charlie becomes entangled with small-time criminals and faces jail time, his father reveals that he was not blinded in a hunting accident, as he had always said, but rather, in an armed robbery gone bad. Incarcerated in Stateville prison, Rizzo was put in a cell with the infamous thrill killer Nathan Leopold, who taught him to read Braille and, by way of Dante’s Inferno, to love literature and to embrace life again.
God, the interactive presentation was magnificent! More!

That's all I found online, sorry! I found this at the local bookstore and took it home at once; it was published, after a Kickstarter campaign, in late 2017.

An article on the book in Chicago magazine has a few pages reproduced.

I just can't get over what an unlikely story it is!

(I admit to misreading the title and thinking of this graphic novel instead. Carry on.)

That was so well done. A fine example of the infinite canvas.

That parallax scrolling is used super effectively, I think I'm more impressed with that than the graphic novel itself (although that looks really interesting too). It was done by Chicago artist and designer Jeannette Ralyea. From the look of her portfolio she hasn't done any other such presentations but she's done a lot of other interesting projects.
