Spontaneous Combustion is an exclusive art and comic book created by the legendary illustrator Martin ”Mander” Ander. Self-published through Television Press, the book offers a unique insight into Mander’s incredibly detailed and deeply personal visual world.
This edition features two graphic short stories interspersed with a wealth of previously unpublished drawings. It is a raw and authentic collection where Mander’s characteristic style—rooted in skate culture, graffiti, and underground comics—takes center stage. The book is in English, with text translated and edited by Gareth Smith.
