{"product_id":"terminal-exposure-comics-sculpture-and-risky-behavior-9781681379319","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681379319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Michael McMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45418992271541,"sku":"9781681379319","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4f01c4e6-a58a-45be-aae0-0739e9b89677.jpg?v=1748390532","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/terminal-exposure-comics-sculpture-and-risky-behavior-9781681379319","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
