About this Collection

One Model Nation is a graphic novel from 2012, published by Titan, that explores a dystopian narrative centered on a supermodel in a near-future society. The story, written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Georges Jeanty, delves into themes of celebrity, media manipulation, and identity within a visually striking setting. This single-volume collection presents the complete tale originally released as a miniseries.

"One Model Nation" presents a fictionalized, mockumentary-style deep dive into the enigmatic history of the band One Model Nation—a stand-in for real-world pioneers like Kraftwerk—whose unlikely ties to the Red Army Faction and the Baader-Meinhof Gang are explored with eerie precision. With bold visuals and a sharp, surreal tone, the story unfolds through a blend of archival footage and speculative narrative, all rendered with the distinctive style of Jim Rugg, who handles pencils, inks, and colors, while Rodolfo Muraguchi’s lettering grounds the narrative in its fragmented, documentary feel. The cover, also by Jim Rugg, captures the album’s cold, mechanical aesthetic with striking precision.
