Killing and Dying by Adrian Tomine
According to Zadie Smith, Adrian Tomine “has more ideas in twenty panels than novelists have in a lifetime.” Many of his New Yorker covers make Tomine’s work well known, but Killing and Dying is Tomine at his best. The graphic novel short story collection is Tomine’s first foray into color illustration, a successful experiment in what can be told through drawing in six interconnected stories that capture the dark humor of 21st century life.
