7 Miles a Second is the story of legendary artist David Wojnarowicz,written during the last years before his AIDS-related death in 1992, and drawnby James Romberger with colors by Marguerite Van Cook. The graphic novel depictsWojnarowicz's childhood of prostitution and drugs on the streets of Manhattan,through his adulthood living with AIDS, and his anger at the indifference ofgovernment and health agencies. Romberger and Van Cook's visuals give stunninglife to Wojnarowicz's words, blending the gritty naturalism of Lower East Sidestreet life with a hallucinatory, psychedelic imagination that takes perfectadvantage of the comics medium.

7 Miles a Second

Hetty survives the bombing of Portsmouth by the Nazis in World War II, only to learn that her soldier husband has been killed on the way back home from North Africa. She must then complete the adoption of her young daughter June alone. A decade later, she gives birth to a bastard daughter, Marguerite. Now Hetty must go before a tribunal to prove that she will be a fit mother. What follows is the story of little Marguerite's childhood in the recovering British naval port and the rural beauty of the Isle of Wight and in Normandy, France. The journeys and struggles over decades of this mother and daughter are linked in five episodes that veer between lyricism, wry wit, and harrowing suspense.
