1st Printing. Story, Art and Cover by Adrian Tomine. In this long-awaited conclusion to Adrian Tomine's three-part epic, the story leaps across the country, taking place entirely in New York. All of protagonist Ben Tanaka's worst (and most amusing) traits are brought to the fore as his obsessive quest reaches a fever pitch. His best friend, Alice Kim, finds herself at an unexpected crossroads in her life, forcing her to make several life-altering decisions. But whatever happened to Ben's girlfriend, Miko Hayashi? That and many other answers are revealed as our protagonists walk and talk their way through the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan, all delineated in Tomine's evocatively pristine style. 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.95.

Issue #12
Published Oct 2007 by Drawn & Quarterly.$7.20
1st Printing. Stories, Art and Cover by Adrian Tomine. Award-winning cartoonist Adrian Tomine returns to the multiple short story format familiar from early issues of the iconic series. These new full-color stories showcase Tomine's trademark humor and observational skill, making Optic Nerve #12 a great entry point for new readers. "A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture" deftly manipulates traditional comics idioms to tell a story of horticulture, patents and misunderstood art forms, while "Amber Sweet" is a disconcertingly modern tale about a case of mistaken identity. 40 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $3.95.
