Seven Miles a Second

    (Vertigo, 1996)
™ and ©1996 The Estate of David Wojnarowicz

Published under DC’s “Vertigo Vérité” imprint, Seven Miles a Second is the autobiography of the late New York artist David Wojnarowicz. From his life on the streets as a child prostitute to his final years as a working artist and AIDS activist, Wojnarowicz’s narrative weaves between the grim facts of his history and the fantastic images conjured up in dreams and imagination. The surface message is one of rage, but just beneath lies a constant longing for release—the “escape velocity” of the title. The contrasting layers of Wojnarowicz’s script are complemented by surrealistic images by James Romberger, who swears Wojnarowicz ordered him to complete the comic from beyond the grave!
