Tillie Walden's work always hits right in the gut. No other comic artists' work makes me feel the way her books make me feel. She's able to create such silence, such expansive space, tension in a way that leaves me floored every time. I am always left feeling happy that I met each character and wishing I had more time on the page with them.
Definitely check the trigger warnings for this one, I unfortunately did not and it brought up some rough memories for me.
