Seven Miles a Second

Published by DC in 1996, Seven Miles a Second is a raw, autobiographical graphic novel adapted from the late artist and writer David Wojnarowicz’s unflinching prose, with art by James Romberger. The single-issue work recounts Wojnarowicz’s harrowing experiences as a gay man in 1970s and 1980s New York, weaving together themes of survival, AIDS activism, and street-level rebellion. Its stark, expressionistic visuals and unvarnished narrative make it a powerful, enduring document of a marginalized voice from the era.
