King-Cat Classix - John Porcellino
King-Cat Classix - John Porcellino – (384 pages, English, softcover, published by Drawn & Quarterly)
'King-Cat Classix' collects material from the first fifty issues of John Porcellino’s King-Cat Comics as they appeared in self-published, handmade zines throughout the 1990s. These strips span Porcellino’s dynamic evolution from saturated, punk drawings to his characteristic refined minimalism, revealing his work as nothing short of a catalyst that has inspired artists like Chris Ware in the emerging literary comics scene. In the inky drawings featuring beloved pets, awkward teenage one-night-stands, andeveryday blunders, we see a nascent style steeped in truth and transparency - one that continues to ring true today.
"A Porcellino comic... is about nothing and everything. Corny as this sounds, dear reader, to read him is to be reminded you are a part of a larger world, and broader existence — and all of the spiritual whatevers that suggest." – Chicago Tribune
