Abstract Comics - The Anthology: 1967-2009

Collecting work from the 1960s to 2009, this Fantagraphics anthology redefines what a comic can be by stripping away narrative and character, presenting pure visual abstraction. Featuring frequent contributors Alexey Sokolin and Warren Craghead, the single-issue volume gathers a diverse range of artists who explore shape, color, and pattern as the primary language of the page. It matters as a bold, thoughtful argument for expanding the boundaries of the medium, treating sequential art as a form of visual poetry.
