Nine Panel Grid

A singular, seven-issue series from 1994 to 1996, Nine Panel Grid is the idiosyncratic vision of creator James Pyman, who wrote and drew every page. The title refers to the rigid, nine-panel grid structure Pyman employed throughout, using this formal constraint to explore surreal, often deadpan narratives and abstract visual experiments. Published in the mid-90s, the series stands as a distinctive artifact of alternative comics, showcasing a unique artist's commitment to pushing the boundaries of the medium's storytelling mechanics.
