Early on in the narrative, the author is something like a younger Rodney Dangerfield, frustrated by a lack of respect. In his latest book, Tomine, who has been successful by nearly any measure-his oeuvre includes many minicomics and books and several New Yorker covers-delivers an understated yet illuminating graphic memoir full of insights on the creative process and the struggles of defining “success” in the world of comics and graphic novels. A lifelong obsession with comics results in less reward than the author and illustrator might once have thought possible.
