San Francisco:: City Lights Books,, (2017). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in illustrated boards. Promotional postcard laid in. . First printing. When Madonna was evicted from his longtime home and studio in the Mission District, ground-zero in the tech wars transforming the city, he found himself "yet another victim of San Franciscos overheated boomtown housing market, with its soaring prices and rampant evictions. He decided to use his comic as a cathartic public platform to explore the experience, and to capture the complex, highly charged atmosphere of a cityand a lifebeing forced through a painful transition.. . The line between reality and surreality begins to blur almost immediately, in real life and in his comic. Absurd, maddening, and all-too-poignant, these drawings and stories capture the spirit of not just San Francisco, but a cultural epidemic that has now spread to cities around the world."
