Meanwhile

Jason Shiga's Meanwhile is a single-issue, interactive comic from 2010 published by Harry N. Abrams that presents a branching, choose-your-own-path narrative. Rather than a traditional linear story, the book uses a system of tabs and panels to let readers navigate a whimsical, puzzle-like adventure involving a time machine and a doomsday device. Shiga, the sole writer and artist, is the defining creative force behind this innovative, experimental work, which stands as a landmark in comics for its playful, ingenious use of the medium's form.
