{"product_id":"terminal-exposure-michael-mcmillan-9781681379319","title":"Terminal Exposure: Comics, Sculpture, and Risky Behavior","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first-ever collection of comics and assorted artwork by Michael McMillan--not only a legendary underground cartoonist, but also a sculptor, painter, printmaker, filmmaker, animator, poster designer, and an avid rock climber.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael McMillan has said he's \"not really a cartoonist,\" but the evidence suggests otherwise. Born and raised in California, he studied architecture and design before a visit in 1969 to an exhibition of Chicago's Hairy Who and encounters with the bourgeoning San Francisco underground comix scene convinced McMillan to make his own comics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe plunged in, drawing for legendary publications like \u003ci\u003eWeirdo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYoung Lust\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLemme Out Here\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArcade\u003c\/i\u003e, and eventually his own one-issue wonder, \u003ci\u003eTerminal\u003c\/i\u003e. Over the following decades, McMillian kept playing with the form of comics. He reimagined the kind of stories single-panel, two-panel, and many-panel strips could tell, blending favorite genres from his childhood (horror, swords and sandals, science fiction) with more mature themes (autobiography, dating, sex) into new and striking forms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eTerminal Exposure, \u003c\/i\u003eMcMillan's comics are collected for the first time, alongside a selection of his electrifying sculptures, eye-popping paintings, and stunning pages from the journals he kept during his years rock climbing in California's Sierra Nevada. With an introduction by Dan Nadel, this volume offers a first-time portrait of the great \"not really a cartoonist\" cartoonist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael McMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681379317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681379319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Michael McMillan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46571375427839,"sku":"9781681379319","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc3c3e52-0298-46c5-bf52-b70605138878.jpg?v=1738808051","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terminal-exposure-michael-mcmillan-9781681379319","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
