  • More about New Realities: The Comics of Dash Shaw

Dash Shaw is a restless cartoonist known for his acclaimed, idiosyncratic comics that explore different genres and themes, including domestic realism, sci-fi farce, and historical fiction. His characters live in their own personal realities, often failing to connect or communicate, and his work explores confusion, alienation, and other emotions.

Publisher: Uncivilized Books


Dash Shaw is a notable figure in the world of cartooning, known for his relentless pursuit of artistic evolution. Since his breakthrough graphic novel Bottomless Belly Button, he has consistently produced acclaimed and distinctive comics, experimenting with diverse techniques such as line and color variations and transitioning from domestic realism to sci-fi farce to historical fiction. However, certain themes persist throughout Shaw's work. His characters exist within their own subjective realities, often struggling to connect or communicate effectively. Despite the wide range of comics he has created, including the dystopian spectacle BodyWorld and the geek-culture comedy Cosplayers, they serve as platforms for clashes between contrasting mindsets. Shaw's artistic approach adapts to capture these new manifestations of confusion, alienation, and more. In his book New Realities, critic Greg Hunter delves into the overarching narrative that connects this diverse body of work.
