One of the best modern comic book adaptations of a literary work in English. Karasik did a magnificent job breaking the book down into a visual narrative. Mazzucchelli’s art is perfectly suited to this dark, brooding, existentialist mystery. This is the 2000 reissue, with a behind-the-scenes, informative, and trademark witty 3-page introduction by Art Spiegelman, the original editor/designer of the Neon Lit series of which this book was the flagship release.
Condition
Clean, unmarked, sound binding, shelfwear on cover, slight warping on bottom eighth of book first 50 pages. A reader’s copy.
Favorite Quote From Book
“To undo the fall of man, the fall of language must be undone.”
Honestly, if you haven’t read this one, you’re missing out.
