The Dark Matter of Mona Starr #[nn]

A lone girl sits small against a vast, swirling cosmos on Laura Lee Gulledge's striking cover for The Dark Matter of Mona Starr — a shooting star arcing overhead while dark, nebula-like waves roll around her, suggesting both isolation and wonder. Published by Harry N. Abrams in 2020, this graphic novel pairs its deeply evocative imagery with a title that beautifully blends the personal and the astronomical. It's the kind of cover that quietly pulls you in, promising an intimate story set against something much larger than any one person.
