“Contemporary fiction in comics form” is how “Adrian Tomine”:http://www.adrian-tomine.com/ describes his work in his “fascinating interview”:http://www.creativereview.co.uk/crblog/qa-adrian-tomine/ with Simon Creasey, an interview complemented by illustrations rendered in Tomine’s unmistakable style. Tomine, besides “having created covers”:http://www.cartoonbank.com/search_results_category.asp?sitetype=1&section=all&keyword=Tomine&advanced=0 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”:http://www.time.com/time/columnist/arnold/article/0,9565,286282,00.html, “that feel more like short exposures of ordinary people’s lives, rather than plot-heavy adventures or overt comedy.”
