I love comics that deconstruct the comics form.

| The cover of the 1977 edition of Breakdowns. There are three more pages to go with this one showing the infinite combinations of this image. |
For example in
Art "Maus" Spiegelman's "Breakdowns" he explores what goes into making
the very cover image by breaking down the printed image into it's
individual parts and recombining them in a multitude of ways.The first image is the "normal" image. The next image is only the
yellow and blue plates printed; then blue and red and so on until he
starts to really mix things up with printing the "blue" plate yellow and
black plate red. It makes for a surprisingly fascinating picture that I
end up spending a lot of time just studying.
