The show, which I&#8217;m really quite proud of, features work from throughout David&#8217;s career, with a special focus on the art for his forthcoming book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomhouse.com\/pantheon\/graphicnovels\/catalog\/display.pperl?isbn=9780307377326\">Asterios Polyp<\/a>. David designed the exhibition itself, making it a wonderfully immersive experience. There&#8217;s work here that even the most hardcore Mazzucchelli obsessive will find surprising. Anyhow this 4-month long process has confirmed David&#8217;s unique comics genius for me, and I couldn&#8217;t be more pleased to be involved.
