Munch

A single-issue comic from Placebo Press, Munch (2015) is Norwegian cartoonist Steffen Kverneland's intensely personal and formally inventive exploration of the life and art of Edvard Munch. Kverneland distills decades of research into a dense, visually striking work that blends biography with a deep, almost obsessive engagement with Munch's own paintings and writings. It stands as a singular, acclaimed example of the graphic novel as a tool for art historical investigation.
