House in the Jungle - Softcover

“The story offers no easy conclusions; the surreal tone, as lush as the jungle setting, makes the volume worth rereading for the questions it raises as much as for the answers it hints at.” ― Publishers Weekly
“Gelgud lets this story unfold with a precise, comical deadpan that rejects traditional paneling in favor of a more free-form flow...Each moment becomes a building block for what follows, and Gelgud peppers these depictions with some calm psychedelics to bring outwards what we couldn’t possibly see otherwise.” ― John Seven, The Comics Beat
“Surreal elements aside, Gelgud’s slightly cockeyed tale seriously addresses whether an unlikable outsider can coexist with an increasingly regimented society.” ― Gordon Flagg, Booklist
“Gelgud’s most intriguing oddities occur at a deeper meta-level. A House in the Jungle isn’t just a story―it’s a comics story exploring the comics form that contains it.” ― Chris Gavaler, PopMatters

According to a study done by the CDC in 2007, nearly 40% of American adults use complementary and alternative medicine to some degree, which is essentially what Gelgud’s jungle dwelling hermit is trafficking in, tinged with an illicit component. Most everyone is searching for a centering element, be it spirituality, philosophy, ideology, or synthetic, and Gelgud’s tale of borders, between towns and jungles, reality and the beyond, taps into our deep desire to know.
