Living computers of social control hurtles past their breaking point. The essence of Miasma’s inhabitants—dreams, ennui, paranoia—are fodder for uncanny machines. Traversing this dystopian wasteland, a mysteriously linked pair, Myron and Zinnia, follow a train-hopping resistance movement.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMiasma Myopia\u003c\/em\u003e skitters through graphic vignettes of walking skyscrapers, gatherings of cloud councils, featureless figures with typewritten speech, and a cryptic Giant’s Dream looming over everything in a stream of maximalist line work and multimedia collage. Floyd Tangeman’s feverishly focused pen creates panels that become open wounds, jail cells, alcoves-in-catacombs, passageways to understanding. This third-eye-opening work explores urban decay and the opioid epidemic, the psychic fallout of a generation left behind in the wake of American folly in the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcessing personal loss and spiritual ruin in tones ranging from elegiac and foreboding, to zany and punny, Tangeman’s work is a dispatch from the jungle seen through a poet’s eye. Evoking Anna Kavan’s avant garde \u003cem\u003eIce\u003c\/em\u003e and Gary Panter’s punk rock \u003cem\u003eJimbo\u003c\/em\u003e, this surreal odyssey confidently follows its own inner logic. And in a final twist on its title, \u003cem\u003eMiasma Myopia\u003c\/em\u003e is clear-eyed and divinatory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Floyd Tangeman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Softback","offer_id":52012770328822,"sku":"9798875004346","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/7339\/9944\/files\/9798875004346_800.jpg?v=1792616405","url":"https:\/\/www.fantagraphics.com\/products\/miasma-myopia","provider":"Fantagraphics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
