(W/A/CA) Bill Pearson
A retrospective in illustrations from the psychedelic, transcendental mind of one of comics’ most tireless forces, Bill Pearson. Having worked in comics from just about every position and angle over the last 50+ years (including as the editor of the legendary witzend), Pearson’s first solo art book collects a decades-spanning body of work, never seen until now. His illustrations dance playfully between monstrous and silly imaginary creatures in the vein of Vaughn Bode, and abstract gems evoking Wassily Kandinsky. If the title rings with humility, it’s only because Pearson is selling himself short. A culmination of a life devoted to comics, Fantagraphics is proud to present Artist at Last.
