Montebank by D.W. ′12 (Fantagraphics) was included in Best American Comics notables. Mountebank is a systematized sketchbook that tracks the inner workings of an obsessive brain, a book that could only be described as “psychedoolic.” Both meditative and hypnotic, D.W. invites you to get lost alongside anthropomorphic creatures crawling through grid paper labyrinths and in his own brand of whirling dervish mark-making.
Reviews:
- Interview with D.W. on Seattle and Mountebank (The Seattle Review of Books, 2017)
- “Irene #6 may have been a harder installment to get through than the predecessors I enjoyed so much, but just as good zines should expose you to new favorites and startling concepts, they should also challenge you, keeping the boring comfort of stability at bay.”—Nick Hanover about Irene on Loser City
D.W. was born and grew up in New Jersey. He is a founder and editor of the comics and art anthology Irene.
