Why read it?
1 author picked Capacity as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There is nothing remotely like this comic series; it's one of the most original, surreal, and fantastical things I have ever read! When I spend time with this artist's work, I feel like a portal opens in my mind and enters a space of pure, unbridled imagination.

From Misha's list on The best illustrated books that will connect you with the mysterious wonders of life.
