Portrait of a Young Man as a Cartoonist

From 1996 to 1998, George Komninos wrote and drew all eight issues of Portrait of a Young Man as a Cartoonist for Hammer & Anvil Press, a deeply personal, introspective series that chronicled the trials of a young artist finding his voice in the indie comics scene. A raw, autobiographical work, it stands as a poignant snapshot of the late-1990s small-press ethos, capturing the creative struggle with a warm, unfiltered honesty.
