“Contemporary fiction in comics form” is how Adrian Tomine describes his work in his fascinating interview with Simon Creasey, an interview complemented by illustrations rendered in Tomine’s unmistakable style. Tomine, besides having created covers for The New Yorker, has been prolific, fashioning comics in his Optic Nerve series that are more than “just” comics, telling stories, as Andrew D. Arnold puts it, “that feel more like short exposures of ordinary people’s lives, rather than plot-heavy adventures or overt comedy.”
