Salt Green Death by Katarina Thorsen. $30. 196 pages. Full color. Published by Conundrum.

Wow, what an incredibly unique and truly beautiful comic by an artist I'd never heard of until now. Conundrum really is a home for incredible cartoonists who do not fit the mold of what is published elsewhere, and this book is case in point. It is a history (or an investigation) of a man who died of suicide in 1948. Call it graphic medicine or creative non-fiction, this is just a wonderful comic.
