In "Pastoral," Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson explore the quiet pulse of Caplinville through Cammie’s eyes, a girl who’d rather be anywhere else—until she starts noticing the subtle ways heroism lives in the everyday. With Alex Ross’s striking cover setting the tone, this 2003 issue captures the unexpected weight of small-town life and the quiet courage it holds.
