Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist Michael DeForge has been dissecting the comics visual language for more than a decade and continues his creative winning streak with his tenth book for D&Q and second collection of short stories, All the Cameras in My Room. The prolific cartoonist's hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In "Figure Skating," a star athlete's impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater's rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in "Holiday Special," a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader's brain. Deforge's stories break down how we consume pop culture, interrogate our relationship to star power and recontextualize our nostalgia into a shared mythology, cementing his place as the most consistent and beguiling cartoonist working today.
