About this title: The major American artist invented the concept of a wordless novel with this evocative, text-free "woodcut" narrative. Autobiographical in nature, the novel recounts Ward's struggles with his craft and with life in the 1920s. The intricate woodcuts transcend all barriers of language, and fresh details reward the eye with every review. 139 black-and-white illustrations.

"My future brother-in-law was moving and handed this to me as we packed up his massive comic collection. I worked my way through it -- I am not as good with visuals as with words -- and then felt an all-consuming sorrow for men. The artwork is amazing and the story is as old as you get -- Cain, anyone?"
