Connective Tissue

Bob Fingerman's Connective Tissue (2009–present, Fantagraphics) is a single-issue comic that distills his signature blend of wry observation and visceral detail into a self-contained, intimate narrative. Known for his work on Minimum Wage and Beg the Question, Fingerman here explores the tangled threads of human connection with his characteristic mix of humor and grit. This slim volume stands as a potent example of his ability to craft a complete, resonant story within a compact format.
