The stories in Summer Blonde are longer explorations of the same themes of his earlier collection, Sleepwalk - haunting and spare tales of the loneliness and bleak humour of modern life.
Since self publishing his first issue of Optic Nerve at the age of fifteen, the Japanese-American, Adrian Tomine, has established himself as one of the leading lights of the next generation of graphic novelists, in the wake of such breakthrough artists as Daniel Clowes and Chris Ware. A regular contributor to the New Yorker - and previously Time, Esquire and Rolling Stone - he is the author of the collections Sleepwalk, Shortcomings and his ongoing series Optic Nerve.
