The System

It''s said that the flutter of insect wings in the Indian Ocean can send a hurricane crashing against the shores of the American Northeast. It''s this premise that lies at the core of The System, a wordless graphic novel created and fully painted by award-winning illustrator Peter Kuper. From the subway system to the solar system, human lives are linked by an endless array of interconnecting threads. Told without captions or dialogue, The System is an astonishing progression of vivid imagery.
