The Shape of My Eyes

release date: Jul 23, 2024
The Shape of My Eyes
A touching, humorous account of the author’s cultural reckoning with his Korean heritage and hidden family secrets. A surprising diagnosis of PTSD led Dave Gibbons to look to his past for clues to explain the unexpected result. Born to an American soldier and a Korean mother in the wake of the Korean War, Dave has spent his life struggling to blend his Korean roots and his very American upbringing. The family joins a conservative church that embraces a strict, rule-based faith, and they try to navigate life as one of the few mixed-raced families in their community. But when tragedy strikes, tearing the family apart, Dave is forced to face long- buried secrets that he can no longer ignore. As he explores his family’s difficult past, he confronts his own pain and the persistent feelings of not quite fitting in either in America or his mother’s home country. And when a DNA test ultimately reveals a truth that shatters everything he understood about his history, he begins the journey to reconcile his American upbringing with his deep Korean roots, and he is forced to confront the traumas he unknowingly carried. The Shape of My Eyes beautifully weaves historic reference points of the oppression and discrimination against Asian Americans with Dave’s own personal story. Dave’s wrestling with belonging in his family, in America, and in the church creates a raw, thought-provoking memoir about race, religion and finding home.

Confabulation: An Anecdotal Autobiography by Dave Gibbons
This comprehensive, in-depth, and personal journey through the eyes of one of the world’s most famous comics creators, Dave Gibbons, spans his earliest years copying Superman and Batman comics as a kid, to co-creating the bestselling graphic novel of all-time, Watchmen, and beyond. Presented alphabetically, with informally written anecdotes that can be read from cover-to-cover or simply dipped into, Gibbons reveals unseen comics’ pitches, life as the first Comics Laureate, and going from being a fanzine artist to infiltrating DC Comics in the 1970s. The book covers everything from working on Doctor Who and meeting Tom Baker to being inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame. Gibbons also discusses, for the first time anywhere, the reasons why he and fellow Watchmen co-creator Alan Moore no longer speak. Packed with over 300 iconic, rarely seen, and unpublished art pieces and photographs, Confabulation: An Anecdotal Autobiography not only entertains, but peels back the layers of a fascinating career in comics.

Small Cloud Rising

release date: Feb 18, 2015
Small Cloud Rising
Just after 5000 people crowded into Anaheim Convention for the Easter Services, God asked Dave two questions that wrecked him and took him to places around the world to search answers to these questions: "Is this it?" (IT=SUCCESS) "What would the church look like if wasn''t contained on a piece of land?" In the wake of these two questions, Newsong strategically went from a church focused on growing bigger to a church focused on growing deeper, which has led to its thriving global ministry today. In Small Cloud Rising, Gibbons takes us on his 10-year journey of a reimagined church. Shedding much contemporary church-growth strategy, Gibbons learned to measure success through paradoxical metrics: Small is big. One is the greatest number. Reach the fringes for maximum impact. Neighbor means someone who''s not just like you. Misfits belong together. Pain can be power. Gibbons watched Newsong transform and rise as the ancient future church. Looking at how God designed us as a community (ancient/past) and what He desired us to become (future). Along this path of change, he learned to see like Elijah, scanning the horizon after years of drought. The prophet saw a small cloud rising, no bigger than a fist, a nearly invisible phenomenon that would soon change everything. It would be small in size but bring a storm that would end the drought.
