Soft City

Pushwagner (kunstnernavn for Terje Brofos, født 1940 i Oslo) begynte arbeidet med billedromanen Soft City i 1969, og gjorde den ferdig i London på midten av 1970-tallet. Men kofferten med originalene forsvant, og var borte i mer enn tjue år før den dukket opp igjen i Oslo i 2002. Originaltegningene ble stilt ut ved Berlin-biennalen for samtidskunst og Sydney-biennalen i 2008, i tillegg har de vært stilt ut ved Gøteborg-biennalen i 2009, og i den Haag.
Soft City regnes som et av Pushwagners hovedverk.
Vinner av Sproing-prisen for årets beste tegneserie og utnevnt til Årets vakreste bok i 2008.

Chris Ware til Dagbladet: «I’d never heard of Pushwagner nor his amazing Soft City until Espen Holtestaul, the publisher (and Alvin Buenaventura, on two separate serendipitous occasions) very kindly passed along the book to me. It’s an absolute masterpiece of comics, and looks as if it was drawn yesterday. Pushwagner shows an understanding of the medium and its visual power that I don’t think many, if any, young cartoonists of today can even grasp. What really amazes me about it — and may somewhat account for its decades-long invisibility in America, at least — is that it uses the medium of comics to express something profound and complicated, rather than using the received idea of comics as a stand-in for the embarrassing immaturity of American culture, which is a game Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein played out decades ago. I thought Oyvind Fahlstrom understood comics, but he’s got nothing on Pushwagner. The book was a revelation to me, and trumps pretty much every underground comic published in America at the same time.»
