☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the complete run of The Comic Book Guide to the Mission, a series that offers a unique, illustrated tour of San Francisco's historic Mission District. Published by Skoda Man Press in 2013, it blends local history, culture, and landmarks with a comic book format, providing an engaging guide for both residents and visitors.
"Fragments in the Mission" captures a quiet, observant journey through a changing neighborhood, told with warmth and wry precision by Matt Stewart and brought to life by John Mathis’s expressive art. As the narrator and his wife navigate the shifting dynamics of the Mission’s hipster culture, their story unfolds with a gentle, authentic rhythm—ending not with a grand shift, but with a simple, thoughtful retreat. The cover by Chuck Whelon perfectly frames the issue’s reflective tone.

The narrator and his wife observe hipsters on visits to the Mission, then move into the neighborhood. There's much they enjoy there, but surrounded by the hipsters' aggressive self-centeredness at the expense of neighbors, landlords, and customers, they move out after eleven months. They enjoy their new neighborhood much better, and can still make easy forays into the Mission.
