☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume in Fantagraphics' 'Best Comics of the Decade' series continues the anthology's mission of showcasing standout alternative and underground comic work from the 1980s. It collects a selection of stories originally published in various independent comics and magazines, highlighting the diverse artistic and narrative experimentation of the era. The volume features contributions from multiple creators, offering a curated snapshot of the decade's influential non-mainstream comics scene.
In Belfast, a woman named Allison seeks a portrait from Dan for her friend’s husband, a man serving a life sentence for killing two British soldiers. The request carries quiet weight, hinting at a past tangled in politics and personal loss, as the painting becomes more than art—it’s a fragile thread to a life behind bars.
