Lake Jehovah #[nn]

Two figures plunge headfirst into a brilliant white circle — a lake, a moon, or something stranger — against a stark black background, with a small orange ball tumbling alongside them. Jillian Fleck's cover has an wonderfully unsettling playfulness to it, balancing whimsy and unease in a single arresting image. A solo work from 2016 by Conundrum Press, Lake Jehovah is the kind of quietly daring graphic novel that earns a second look the moment you set it down.
