Living & Dying in America: A Daily Chronicle 2020-2022 #[nn]

Steve Brodner's Living & Dying in America: A Daily Chronicle 2020–2022 is a deeply felt artistic record of one of the most turbulent stretches in recent memory. The cover — rendered in Brodner's expressive, painterly hand — centers on a weary adult cradling a small child, their heads bowed together in a quiet moment of tenderness, while faint pencil sketches of conflict and turmoil drift across the background. Published by Fantagraphics in 2022, this collection feels like both a document and a reckoning, inviting readers to sit with the full weight of those years.
