Asthma is a collection of recent comics by John Hankiewicz. From story to story, even page to page, the book mixes a startling range of graphic and narrative styles to form a dreamlike whole. 'Amateur Comics' creates a wordless lyric of bfody, chairs, and space. 'Martha Gregory' delves into the rhyming psyches of a young woman and an old man. 'Jazz' charts a single day through the lens of the unconscious. Also included are the visually abstract 'The Kimball House, ' the autobiographical 'Westmont Is Next, ' the elliptically humorous 'Dance' (printed in black and red), and several other ineffable pieces.
