From wikipedia:
City of Glass: The Graphic Novel is a one-volume adaptation of Paul Auster's acclaimed story, also entitled City of Glass. The story was originally part of The New York Trilogy, and in 1994, David Mazzucchelli and Paul Karasik set out to adapt the offbeat, somewhat surreal short novel into a graphic novel.

The original comic was published by Avon Books as Neon Lit: Paul Auster's City of Glass. The project was somewhat led by influential and popular comics artist, Art Spiegelman. The original printing was received very well, and the work was chosen as one of the "100 Most Important Comics of the Century". In 2004, a new edition of the book was released as City of Glass: The Graphic Novel which featured an introduction by Art Spiegelman. In this introduction, Spiegelman calls the graphic novel "a breakthrough work."

The story follows a man named Daniel Quinn. One night, he receives a call meant for a private detective (strangely enough named Paul Auster, the same name as the author of the story). He is intrigued by the phonecall and takes the case. His employers end up being a man, named Peter Stillman, and his wife. Through the course of the narrative, Quinn discovers some surprising things about identity, language, and human nature. He also ends up meeting, not the unseen detective Paul Auster, but writer Paul Auster.
