Above and Below: Two Stories of the American Frontier #[nn]

James Sturm brings two tales of the American frontier together in this handsome Drawn & Quarterly collection, with cover art penciled and inked by Sturm himself. The cover presents two small woodcut-style vignettes side by side — one depicting a figure in a dramatic, illuminated revival scene, the other a dimly lit underground setting suggesting the second story, "Hundreds of Feet Below Daylight." It's a quietly striking package that reflects Sturm's thoughtful, literary approach to American history and the lives of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances.
