“The Innocents”
About this Collection

This collection, published by Fantagraphics under their Ignatz line, gathers the opening story arc of the 2005 series 'Wish You Were Here,' focusing on the characters known as the Innocents. It presents a self-contained narrative that introduces the series' themes and setting, though specific plot details and creator credits are not confirmed for this volume.

In "The Innocents," Gipi crafts a quiet, piercing story of responsibility and reckoning as Gil, tasked with watching his nephew for the day, takes him to meet Valerio—just out of prison after years behind bars for a violent act born of long-standing abuse. With Gipi handling every aspect of the interior art and inking, and Paul Baresh’s lettering lending a steady rhythm, the issue unfolds with a restrained intensity that lingers long after the final page.
