Invisible Ink: My Mother's Love Affair With A Famous Cartoonist

Underground and Zippy the Pinhead cartoonist Bill Griffith uncovers his motherâ€™s hidden past in his first graphic memoir.
This is the renowned cartoonist's first long-form graphic work â€• a 200-page memoir that poignantly recounts his motherâ€™s secret life, which included an affair with aÂ cartoonist and crime novelist in the 1950s and â€™60s. Invisible Ink unfolds like a detective story, alternating between past and present, as Griffith recreates the quotidian habits of suburban Levittown and the professional and cultural life of mid-century Manhattan in the 1950s and â€™60s as seen through his motherâ€™s and his own then-teenage eyes. Griffith puts the pieces together and reveals a mother he never knew. Black & white illustrations throughout
