Market Day #[nn]

This standalone graphic novel, originally published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2010, follows a Jewish peddler in an early 20th-century Eastern European village as he travels to market, confronting the encroaching forces of modernization and the loss of a traditional way of life. James Sturm's narrative and art capture a single, pivotal day with quiet, poignant detail, exploring themes of community, commerce, and cultural change. The volume is a complete, self-contained story rather than a collection of serialized issues.
