7 Miles a Second

David Wojnarowicz and James Romberger’s 2012 Fantagraphics graphic novel is a raw, autobiographical account of the artist’s life in New York City during the height of the AIDS crisis. This single-issue work weaves together memory, rage, and hallucinatory imagery, capturing Wojnarowicz’s voice as both a visual artist and a writer. It stands as a powerful, unflinching document of queer experience and political urgency from the late 20th century.
