Einstein No. 1, 2008
Scope and Contents
"Mungo Thomson’s Einstein #1 is a comic book without characters, captions, or speech bubbles. Instead, it examines the technology-laden, distopic fantasy world of modern comics by focusing on its background imagery. Thomson mines his own collection of comic books, redrawing a series of comic cells in which he preserves the original artist’s style but omits the characters that would identify its origin. The result is not just a conceptual exercise; Thomson’s sequence of drawings form a surprisingly cohesive story."--from the LACMA store
