Halcyon #[nn]

Ron Regé Jr. handles every creative role in this 2022 Fantagraphics release, and the cover alone makes a strong case for his singular vision — a red-haired figure lying peacefully in a wooden bed frame surrounded by lush, overgrown greenery, rendered in a dreamy palette of cobalt blue, bright yellow, and soft lilac. The framed-picture composition gives the scene a quiet, almost mythic stillness, as if sleep and nature have become indistinguishable from one another. Halcyon looks like exactly the kind of deeply personal, visually inventive work that Fantagraphics consistently champions.
