Adrian Tomine Author

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 (Ghost World, Ice Haven) and Chris Ware (Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth). A regular contributor to the New Yorker - and previously Time, Esquire and Rolling Stone - he is the author of the collections Sleepwalk, Summer Blonde, Shortcomings and his ongoing series Optic Nerve. Tomine is currently published in Canada and the US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan.
