32 Stories: The Complete Optic Nerve Mini-Comics [Box Set]

Collecting the eight issues of Adrian Tomine's self-published Optic Nerve mini-comics, this box set from Drawn & Quarterly presents the raw, formative work of a defining voice in alternative comics. Spanning the early 1990s, these stories showcase Tomine's emerging talent for quiet, observational character studies and understated suburban ennui. A crucial artifact for fans of the artist's later, more polished work, it preserves the scrappy, intimate origins of his acclaimed series.
