Genius

In 2013, First Second published Genius, a single-issue comic by artist Teddy Kristiansen that explores the life and mind of a singular historical intellect. This standalone work distills its subject's brilliance through evocative, atmospheric visuals rather than a sprawling narrative, making it a compact but resonant character study. Kristiansen's distinctive, moody art style defines the book's contemplative tone, offering readers a quiet, introspective portrait of genius itself.
