About Book

3 Seconds

72 pages, "one-shot" A Borgesian labyrinth made of 33 mirrors A murky match-fixing scandal A case requiring readers to personally participate in reasoning and solving it ◎ Editor's Recommendation ☆ 3 seconds: The time it takes for a beam of light to travel 900,000 kilometers. The time it takes for a bullet from a revolver to travel 1 kilometer after leaving the barrel. The time of a breath. A tear falls, an explosion. The time it takes to send a text message. ☆ 72 pages, 603 panels, 3 seconds A Borgesian labyrinth made of 33 mirrors A photon's three-second journey A paper optical experiment French genius cartoonist Marc-Antoine Mathieu's time-game experiment ☆ A silent puzzle book A thrilling, "one-shot" long take A complex football scandal that causes a chain reaction A series of seemingly unrelated but interconnected crimes A mystery that requires readers to personally participate in solving it ◎ Media Recommendations "《3 Seconds》 is more than just a comic. It's an optical experiment." — French newspaper Libération "This is like 'time freeze.' The author intentionally freezes time, inviting readers to visit the crime scene, search for clues, and catch the real culprit." — Fugue en bulles "《3 Seconds》 is a concept. An unidentified flying object. An oversized piece of luggage." — Fugue en bulles "Hitchcock once told Truffaut that the original idea for 'Rope' was a film made up of only one shot. I think in some ways, '3 Seconds' is an experiment along those lines." — Le Neuvième Art ◎ Content Introduction "3 Seconds" is an (almost) wordless comic, a 72-page, continuous, "one-shot" long take, and a daring optical experiment. 3 seconds refers to the time elapsed from the first panel to the last panel. It tells a series of seemingly unrelated but interconnected crimes that occur within 3 seconds, through 603 interconnected panels. Connected by 33 reflective mirrors, each twist is unexpected. Along the way, there are overt and hidden clues, for the reader to unravel and solve the mystery.
