Amazon.com Review

Sometimes the success of an experiment is the experiment itself. That is to say, sometimes the experiment is more important than its outcome. Such may very well be the case for Art Spiegelman's exquisite-corpse experimental comics, The Narrative Corpse. Sixty-nine cartoonists were asked to draw three panels continuing a story featuring a nondescript stick figure based on only the previous three panels. As a story, it's less than fulfilling. As an experiment and as a collection of incredibly diverse artists, it's certainly interesting.

This review is from: The Narrative Corpse: A Chain-Story by 69 Artists! (Paperback)
Like many publications spearheaded by Art Spiegelman and Raw Graphics, Narrative Corpse has great presentation. The large format and "tabbed" pages add a nice elegance to this "jam" comic. It's a real treat to see so many artists contributing a few panels to a single storyline. Unfortunately the story itself doesn't hold up but I guess that's to be expected in a project like this.

This review is from: The Narrative Corpse: A Chain-Story by 69 Artists! (Paperback)
This is a wonderful comic publication, and there's never been anything like it.

Because of the unusual nature of its creation, there is no "story" as such. After all, no creator saw more than the three panels that preceded his or her own, and each could only add three panels to the narrative. This method makes it zoom along with no concern about continuity or plot development, but with a wild, Tex Avery-like abandon.

Get it for the mad mix of creators and the insanity of its conception, not for its "story." You'll love it!
