Exclusive Comics Excerpt: ‘The Salon’


Every week, the Comics Page introduces you to brand-new graphic novels by the world's best artists and writers. Manga, superheroes, indie comix — we'll cover them all as our editors select the best the exploding comics world has to offer.



Paris, 1907. Georges Braque discovers that his new friends Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, and Alice B. Toklas have distilled a potent blue absinthe with a very special power. How is the absinthe related to the culprit who’s tearing the heads off modernist painters all over town?
