Observed While Falling: Bill Burroughs, Ah Pook, and Me

In 2012, Fantagraphics published this single-issue comic, a meditation on the creative and philosophical collaboration between writer William S. Burroughs and artist Malcolm McNeill around the unfinished project "Ah Pook and Other Texts." McNeill, who was the primary artist on the work, reflects on the process and the ideas that drove the project, offering a unique window into a pivotal moment in underground comics and experimental literature. The book stands as a document of a lost collaboration and a personal account of working with one of the 20th century's most provocative authors.
