A review by jennykeery
The Underwater Welder by Jeff Lemire

5.0

'The Underwater Welder' is the best graphic novel I have read so far. The sketchy style of the artwork complements the strange otherworldly feel of the narrative perfectly, and the characters are very human and memorable - Jack and Suse will stay with me for a long time. I think Lemire really captured the lonely, alien feeling of being underwater for a prolonged period of time and used this atmosphere in a really creative, interesting way. I think the introduction (written by Damon Lindelof) is spot on in describing it as 'the most spectacular episode of 'The Twilight Zone' that was never produced'. I recommend it very highly!
