BLOOD OF THE VIRGIN - Serio Comics 32
BLOOD OF THE VIRGIN written and drawn by Sammy Harkham, published by Pantheon
A Graphic Novel About Filmmaking And Family
I recently started a new day job at the Oscar Academy Museum, working as part of the theater staff for the David Geffen and Ted Mann theaters.
So filmmaking and Hollywood have been on my mind.
And I recently booked a trip to visit the person I’ve been dating’s family.
So relationship and family have been on my mind as well.
These themes are at the heart of the 2023 graphic novel BLOOD OF THE VIRGIN, written and drawn by Sammy Harkham.
Art Spiegelman of MAUS celebrates how it:
“Conjures up the grindhouse movie-making scene in 1970s Los Angeles and tracks an ambitious young man’s flailing attempts to build a family and a career as a film arteest in that debased world…A book with a lot of heart.”
