So Beautiful and So Dangerous

A single-issue comic published by Simon and Schuster in 1979, So Beautiful and So Dangerous is a standalone artifact from the early days of the graphic novel format. Its concise run of one issue means it exists as a singular, self-contained story rather than an ongoing series. The project is most associated with its unique publisher—a mainstream book house venturing into comics—and its period-specific, experimental approach to the medium. While only a brief entry, it stands as a curious footnote in the history of comics' transition from newsstands to bookstore shelves.
