The Artist Himself: A Rand Holmes Retrospective #[nn]

This Fantagraphics retrospective collects the life's work of Rand Holmes, and even the table of contents page shown here hints at the remarkable breadth inside — spanning Edmonton, Vancouver, and Lasquette Island across five decades of underground and alternative cartooning. The handwritten-style title lettering and sketched figures framing the contents page reflect Holmes's unmistakable linework, entirely his own from pencils to inks. At $39.99, it's a generous, carefully organized survey of one of underground comix's most distinctive voices.
