ARTIST AT LAST TP (MR) (26 Mar Release)

A retrospective in illustrations from the psychedelic¸ transcendental mind of one of comics’ most tireless forces¸ Bill Pearson. Having worked in comics from just about every position and angle over the last 50+ years (including as the editor of the legendary witzend)¸ Pearson’s first solo art book collects a decades-spanning body of work¸ never seen until now. His illustrations dance playfully between monstrous and silly imaginary creatures in the vein of Vaughn Bode¸ and abstract gems evoking Wassily Kandinsky. If the title rings with humility¸ it’s only because Pearson is selling himself short. A culmination of a life devoted to comics¸ Fantagraphics is proud to present Artist at Last.
