Owly

Few characters in Modern Age comics radiate as much pure warmth as Owly, the gentle little owl who debuted in Owly #2 in 2005, brought to life by creator Andy Runton for Top Shelf Productions. Emerging at a time when all-ages comics were hungry for genuine heart, Owly carved out a quietly beloved corner of the medium across a fifteen-year run spanning titles like Owly and Owly: The Way Home. Runton's creation proves that you don't need words or spectacle to tell a meaningful story — just one small, wide-eyed owl and a whole lot of soul.
