Tim Ginger #[nn]

Julian Hanshaw's Tim Ginger is a quietly striking graphic novel from IDW that announces itself with an arresting cover: a vintage Airstream trailer sits beneath drooping tree branches, a rotary telephone and folding chair arranged outside it with an almost eerie stillness, while a figure tumbles upside-down across the lower left of the image as if caught mid-fall. The warm peach and dusty-blue palette gives the whole scene a sun-bleached, melancholy atmosphere that feels distinctly personal. With every line, color, and letter the work of Hanshaw alone, this 2015 release carries the unmistakable intimacy of a truly singular artistic vision.
