{"product_id":"terminal-exposure-comics-sculpture-and-risky-behavior","title":"Terminal Exposure: Comics, Sculpture, and Risky Behavior","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first-ever collection of comics and assorted artwork by Michael McMillan--not only a legendary underground cartoonist, but also a sculptor, painter, printmaker, filmmaker, animator, poster designer, and an avid rock climber.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael McMillan has said he's \"not really a cartoonist,\" but the evidence suggests otherwise. Born and raised in California, he was a draftsman and industrial designer by trade before he plunged into the burgeoning San Francisco underground comix scene of the early 1970s. He drew for legendary publications such as \u003ci\u003eWeirdo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYoung Lust\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLemme Outa Here!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArcade\u003c\/i\u003e, and produced his own one-issue wonder, \u003ci\u003eTerminal Comics\u003c\/i\u003e. But just as often he drew for himself, playing with the form of comics out of the sight of readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe reimagined the kinds of stories single-panel, two-panel, and many-panel strips could tell and blended favorite genres from his childhood (horror, sword-and-sandal, science fiction) with more mature themes (autobiography, dating, sex) to create new and striking forms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTerminal Exposure\u003c\/i\u003e brings together McMillan's comics for the first time, alongside a selection of his electrifying sculptures, his eye-popping paintings, and stunning pages from his rock climbing journals. With an introduction by Dan Nadel, this volume offers a comprehensive portrait of an exceptional artist, sculptor, climber, and--yes--cartoonist.","brand":"Dan Nadel, Michael McMillan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46724442423532,"sku":"9781681379319","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781681379319.jpg?v=1754734976","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/terminal-exposure-comics-sculpture-and-risky-behavior","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
