Beautiful illustrations, master craft in showing and telling, all featuring a stupid ass who doesn’t see the good he had as a main character and

his dead (never-born) twin brother as a narrator

. Really great graphic novel, and a must read for artists!

Didn’t know how to put it but

Asterios has sexual relationships with his college aged students

so I put it as adult/minor relationship.
