I’ve been waiting a long time for issue #12 of Adrian Tomine’s comic book, Optic Nerve. It’ll be available on Wednesday.
Find a local comic shop that sells it. Order it directly from the publisher.
In the new, long-awaited Optic Nerve #12, award-winning Shortcomings cartoonist Adrian Tomine returns to the multiple short story format familiar from early issues of the iconic series. These full-color stories showcase Tomine’s trademark humor and observational skill, making Optic Nerve #12 a great entry point for new readers. “A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture” deftly manipulates traditional comics idioms to tell a story of horticulture, patents, and misunderstood art forms, while “Amber Sweet” is a disconcertingly modern tale about a case of mistaken identity. Full color, 40 pages
