Like Swimmers, the latest from the ever productive Dash Shaw, is a 128 page, full size hardcover edition of a full color graphic novel – his third from New York Review Comics (but the first in color) – presenting a Rashomon-esque, magical realist murder mystery set in Richmond, VA during the Covid pandemic.  Its drama is made up of a relatively small cast of characters and features the intersecting worlds of art and academia along with the adjacent communities, and their respective relationships to popular culture, that is embodied in the relationship between a brother and sister and a wife and husband, and pivots on class and social status.  So, plenty of food for thought to go along with the clues.
