Boundless: 12/12/17
Boundless by Jillian Tamaki is a comic collection or a short story collection in comic form, if you will. The stories have a Twilight Zone feel to them — playing out various what-ifs. The opening story tells of a woman who ties her love life to a cult classic film. Each romantic breakup, it seems, coincides with the death of another actor in the film. Is the film cursed? Is she? Another story follows a woman who notices she's losing weight — and later height and volumes. She is shrinking. This comic is about how her life changes as she gets smaller. All the stories are memorable and each is done with a different artistic approach. It's really like nothing else I've read — certainly not one by a single graphic novel author.
