Now #9: The New Comics Anthology - Paperback

by Raquelle Jac (Author), Noah Van Sciver (Author), Eric Reynolds (Editor)

This ninth issue of Now is anchored by the longest story featured in the magazine to date: Misguided Love, a 40-page autobiographical tour de force by Texas artist Raquelle Jac. Ping-ponging among relationships, hospitalizations, internet fame, international travel, sex, romance, and trauma, Jac's dense, obsessive pages read like a manifesto, announcing the arrival of a remarkable new voice in comics. This issue also features Now debuts from Hartley Lin (Young Frances), Ethel Wolfe, and Emil Friis Ernst (Doctor Murder), as well as work from Now regulars Keren Katz (The Academic Hour) and Noah Van Sciver, who homages Basil Wolverton's cult favorite, science-fiction hero, Spacehawk.
