{"product_id":"present-hc-1","title":"Present HC #1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A lyrical exploration of the city and memory, as drawn by a Vice cartoonist  Leslie Stein takes us on a sinuous urban stroll divorced from destination, glimpsing New York City through her open eyes. While she is closing up a bar late at night, she is also an adolescent at a rave in the mountains, an adult grappling with her grandfather’s fading memory or at one of her first waitressing jobs. Stein is a master storyteller, an urban explorer, and a loyal guide through dark days and simple, blissful encounters. Stein’s curiosity about and generosity toward the world around her come through powerfully: each colorful story flows with vivid watercolors and delicate ink lines. Here, an autobiography is built through memories and moments tied together by loose lines, evoking a beautiful dreamlike yet endlessly relatable glimpse into the world of a thirty-something woman carving out a life for herself, one step at a time.  Known for her acclaimed Eye of the Majestic Creature series, collected here are Stein’s serialized Vice.com comics which have become a staple for the site, showcasing her storytelling abilities with a freer style. With an introduction and new material, Present will be a deluxe die-cut hardcover that is a meditation on memory. Stein asks us to take a moment to be here now, while acknowledging the other places and people we always carry with us.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ecgce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48094241456358,"sku":"0824DQ962","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5609\/9009\/files\/0824DQ962.jpg?v=1785611654","url":"https:\/\/www.ecgce.com\/products\/present-hc-1","provider":"ecgce","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
