A fantastic piece by two of the best to create in the comics medium. The subject matter here is dark, much like the paintings provided by Scott Hampton. It can be very hard to convey such heavy topics in short form content like a comic book and even a graphic novel doesn't typically lend you much more length for in depth exploration but Archie Goodwin fills every page with meaningful storytelling. So many threads about trauma, loss, classism, abuse and loneliness placed in a book less than 100 pages long. Truly fantastic and well worth a read.
