Ripple: A Predilection for Tina

From 2003 onward, Fantagraphics released Ripple: A Predilection for Tina, a single-issue comic written and drawn by Dave Cooper. This surreal, obsessively detailed work showcases Cooper’s signature blend of grotesque whimsy and psychological unease, exploring a man’s fixation on a mysterious woman. A cult gem from the early 2000s alternative comics scene, it remains a potent example of Cooper’s singular, unflinching vision.
