bookafnd reviewed The Sculptor by Scott McCloud
beautiful & tragic
5 stars
The Sculptor is the story of a man living in New York City who unexpectedly gains a superpower—a familiar premise, but this is not a superhero comic. In a way it's more of a return to early stories of this type, like the Invisible Man, in that the hero of the story doesn't act particularly heroic—he just acts like a normal person might.
There's a big discussion embedded in the story about what Art is and what the purpose of Art is, which from the little I've read seems to be a perennial topic of Scott McCloud's work.
Anyway, I thought it was pretty good.
