The Fate of the Artist: Collector's Edition

A single-issue graphic novel from First Second, The Fate of the Artist: Collector's Edition (2006–present) is a metafictional memoir by cartoonist Eddie Campbell. In it, the author turns his own disappearance into a puzzle, weaving together comic strips, prose, and faux-documentary elements to explore the strange intersection of an artist's life and his work. It stands as a singular, cleverly constructed meditation on identity and legacy within the medium.
