In: A Graphic Novel

"I will remember Will McPhail’s debut graphic novel In because of how much he does with so little. McPhail consistently reduces some of life’s most poignant moments down to their starkest forms, allowing them to color our imaginations while lingering on the page in monochromatic gray. The story follows Nick, an irreverent young illustrator unable to connect with those around him – likely because he’s trying so hard not to. In follows him into love and loss and is told through small, haunting images engulfed by white pages and through grids of sudden expressivity. This is a book about the fleeting connections people miss and the moments they’ll never get to share with loved ones they’ve lost."
