Nicholas Breutzman'sYearbooks takes the reader on a trip through the nightmares of high school, both real and imagined. "Chilling... [Yearbooks] raises an interesting issue vis-a-vis the relationship between an artist and their responsibilities as a moral agent in the world. Can art be evil if it's made by predators, or is this entirely in the eye of the beholder?" --The Comics Journal "Strange, gross, and lovely,Yearbooks is just connected enough to real high school memories to really freak you out..." --Jessica Abel, Best American Comics series editor "Nic Breutzman's comics are often beguiling, sometimes disorienting, and always formally inventive.Yearbooks is a quick sucker punch that will leave you feeling uneasy but eager for more." -Matt Madden, Best American Comics series editor In Nicholas Breutzman's debut effortYearbooks, we encounter nightmarish scenes of a literal and psychological nature as we plumb the depths of the high school experience.Yearbooks evokes the rubbery realism of Daniel Clowes'Eightball, the narrative dread not unlike a Todd Solondz film, and the vivid colors commonly found in the work of Lauren Weinstein.
