If you, like many, are grieving the loss of David Lynch, I’d like to humbly suggest a number of comics that I feel can trace their lineage back to that wild man:
The One Hand/The Six Fingers - absolutely wild experiment in mainstream comic publishing, a tautly told twin series from the dueling perspectives of a tired cop and ambitious perp. The One Hand is by Ram V and Laurence Campbell, the Six Fingers is by Dan Watters and Sumit Kumar. I can’t stress enough that you should alternate reading between the two series (the One Hand number one, then SF, so on and so forth).
Pluto by Naoki Urasawa - anniversary retelling of the Astro Boy story “The Greatest Robot on Earth.” A frequently gut wrenching but beautiful murder mystery told in 8 volumes.
It’s Lonely At The Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood - CE: suicidal ideation. A fast volume on a bad period in one’s life. Dreams and reality collide. Thorogood is in my top three living artists and this is the story that sealed the deal.
