Peter Kuper's New York New York

In this single, sprawling issue from 1988, Peter Kuper presents a wordless, visceral tour of the city's grit and grandeur for Fantagraphics.

A landmark of visual storytelling, it stands as a powerful early example of the artist's signature blend of political commentary and urban observation.
