Washington Unbound

In Washington Unbound (2019–present, AdHouse Books), artist Jasen Lex conjures a singular, surreal vision of the American capital, blending historical portraiture with fever-dream abstraction. This single-issue comic from the acclaimed indie publisher is a striking, wordless meditation on power and place, rendered in Lex’s distinctive, intricate linework. It stands as a bold, experimental artifact in contemporary comics, showcasing a creator unafraid to deconstruct iconography into pure visual poetry.
