Description
Nava Atlas : "Love and Marriage is an altered comic book utilizing art from the 1950s. The original dialog has been removed, replaced by dry deadpan banter, between male and female characters on the mythology of modern marriage, supermoms, media's obsession with domesticity, over the-top weddings, and monogamy. Interspersed are ads from the era, whose absurdity is left intact, in their original, unaltered state." -- Bookseller's website. Title from cover. Single stapled signature; plasticized paper pages. Limited edition of 100 copies.
