The Li'l Depressed Boy #1

In The Li'l Depressed Boy #1, a 2011 Image Comics release, LDB finds an unexpected spark in his otherwise dull routine when he keeps running into a mysterious girl at his usual hangouts. The story captures a quiet moment of connection as LDB and the girl share a first kiss after a concert, all rendered with the heartfelt, expressive style of Sina Grace on art and inks, and the thoughtful storytelling of S. Steven Struble. The cover, also by Sina Grace, perfectly frames the issue’s intimate, bittersweet tone.
