ENGLISH BOOK
Demo is a twelve-issue limited series of comic books by writer Brian
Wood and artist Becky Cloonan, published from 2003–2004 by AiT/Planet
Lar.
Each issue is an isolated story, but they all revolve around the lives
of young people. Originally, the series was intended to focus on young
people with supernatural powers—which many of the issues indeed do—but
as the year progressed, the stories increasingly focused on people,
relationships, and emotions, with the "supernatural" angle quietly
deemphasized.
Demo was very well received. The series was not only embraced by
the indie comics world, but also found some crossover success with
superhero readers. Wizard, a steadfastly superhero-oriented comics magazine, named Demo
its 2004 "Indie of the Year". The series was also nominated for two
Eisner Awards in 2005, for "Best Limited Series" and "Best Single Issue"
(for #7, "One Shot, Don't Miss").
