Six Treasures of the Spiral presents a quarter-century (1995 - 2020) worth of Matt Madden short comics pieces "formed under pressure".  After an introduction by Ed Park, there follows 23 comics in 200 pages.   The "pressure" under which these comics were formed being, for the most part, a variety of constraints – either derived from or inspired by the (largely francophone) Oulipian tradition as translated into the => Oubapian, which serves the world of comics, or, in French, bande dessinée (thus the "ba" for bande dessinée in place of the "li" for littérature). Also included are twenty pages of notes explicating Madden's working metheds and specific constraints, along with resources for further exploration. Intellectually engaing, interesting, and fun!

HOT OFF THE PRESS!  We'll have a bit more to say soon...
