SECONDS: A GRAPHIC NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码： 01240013B65067

English Summary/英文概要： SECONDS is a complex and novelistic stand alone story about a young restaurant owner named Katie who, after being visited by a magical apparition, is given a second chance at love as well as a chance to undo her wrongs. Fans new and old will love Bryan’s bold and quirky style infused with his subtle, playful humor.

Katie seemingly has it all, a successful, cozy restaurant named Seconds, a staff she can trust, and a business partner to help her realize her new dream of opening up a hip, modern bistro in the seaside town she lives. But after running into her ex, Max, and a freak accident in the kitchen, it seems like things are falling apart. That night a strange girl named Lis appears on her dresser with a chance to undo her wrongs. Lis points Katie to a secret compartment in her dresser and the simple instructions: A SECOND CHANCE AWAITS. 1. WRITE YOUR MISTAKE 2. INGEST ONE MUSHROOM 3. GO TO SLEEP 4. WAKE ANEW

When she awakes the next day and the accident undone, Katie starts to think: what if I can get Max back? What if I can undo all my wrongs? But as Lis warned: you only get one second chance, and as Katie takes advantage of the dresser, her world starts to fall apart and her life turns unrecognizable.

“加入半勺的超自然惊悚，两汤勺的心碎不已，还有一杯魔法蘑菇。再添一些魔幻时间旅行元素和布莱恩•李•欧麦丽的绝妙漫画。《第二次》绝对会让读者满意的。”——亚历克斯•罗宾森，《票房毒药》作者

“在《第二次》中，布莱恩•李•欧麦丽融合了青春时的躁动和史诗般的情节，他在这两方面都做得很好。读者可以边吃着东西，边幻想着英雄和怪兽，地球外的战斗。强烈推荐。”——吉尔莫•德尔•托罗

“布莱恩•李•欧麦丽的《第二次》是部可爱，有冲击力，有趣而美丽的小说。对于热爱图画小说的读者来说，绝对是场饕餮盛宴。”——斯科特•麦克劳德，《了解漫画》作者

“《第二次》充满了丰富的想象力和生动的漫画，非常有趣，令人惊喜，引人入胜。《第二次》如同《斯考特朝圣者》一样，描绘了对于爱的焦虑和心碎，并将它们完美融合。这部新作更黑暗，也更复杂。《第二次》并不像《斯考特朝圣者》是部流行文化作品，但因为小说中的人物，奇幻元素，智慧以及人们普遍渴望的第二次机会而丝毫不逊色于《斯考特朝圣者》。”——《出版者周刊》

With 1.5 million copies over the six volume series of Pilgrim sold (all New York Times bestsellers and translated into 13 languages), Bryan Lee O’Malley is a big name in the comics world, and fans have been waiting three years for his next work.

Oni Press, the publisher of Scott Pilgrim, is reissuing all six volumes for the first time in hardcover and in full color, starting summer 2012 with two a year through 2014. So, once the reissues are over we will be giving fans more Bryan Lee O’Malley just when they need it.

SECONDS is a wonderful story full of a wide cast of remarkable characters as well as great culinary detail - a rich, magical story destined to be a classic.

"Take 1/2 cup of supernatural thriller, 2 tablespoons of heartbreak, and a cup of magic mushrooms. Add a dash of trippy time travel and let simmer in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s cartooning brilliance. Seconds will leave you satisfied."—Alex Robinson, author of Box Office Poison

"In Seconds, Bryan Lee O’Malley plays the angst of youth against the fabric of larger epics. In doing so, he enriches both. At long last, dear reader, one can dream of heroes and monsters and battles beyond this earth while contemplating the virtues of "having a thing" in the grocery pantry. A great ride!”—Guillermo del Toro

"Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Seconds is adorable, haunting, funny, and beautiful. A perfect recipe for a great graphic novel.”—Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics

"Richly imagined and vibrantly drawn, Seconds is a funny, surprising, and enchanting read. While Seconds, like Scott Pilgrim, draws on anxieties about love and heartbreak and gives them a comical spin, O’Malley’s new offering is darker, less irreverent, and more sophisticated. Seconds isn’t the same pop culture feast as Scott Pilgrim, but it is just as delectable because of its characters, its fantasy elements, and its wisdom and wit about the wish for seconds chances."—Publishers Weekly
