C Comics’ origins are detailed in a fascinating afterword by Bill Kartalopoulos. The strip’s publication in this prestigious university journal inspired Brainard to push his comics concept further in two self-published issues of C Comics. If this strip wins you over, you are C Comics material. The strip ends with her declaration, “It’s boring to be so limitless.” This dada one-pager is among the highlights of the first issue of C Comics. As such, The Complete C Comics is a major addition to the comics canon and an ideal gift for the non-conformist(s) in your life.
