About the series
A single, oversized issue from 2017, Toys Talking is a Drawn & Quarterly publication that presents a quiet, wordless meditation on the inner lives of playthings. The book's sole premise is a series of beautifully rendered, silent vignettes showing toys coming to life in the absence of their owners, exploring their own small world. Associated with the publisher's tradition of thoughtful, creator-driven work, this one-shot stands as a unique, atmospheric art object rather than a continuing narrative. Its significance lies in its ability to tell a complete, emotionally resonant story without a single line of dialogue.
