Asterios Polyp

ASTERIOS POLYP by David Mazzucchelli (Pantheon)
This decade-in-the-making epic about an architect too smart for his own good is well worth the wait. Mazzucchelli’s masterful usage of comics’ unique storytelling flexibility makes the book as much about art as its protagonist’s journey. Depth and detail warrant repeat readings (but I hate that truncated dust jacket!).
