Any Easy Intimacy

A single, self-contained issue from Top Shelf, Any Easy Intimacy (2005) is a quiet, introspective graphic novella about the fragile connections between strangers. The book, written and drawn by an independent cartoonist, uses spare, observational storytelling to capture a fleeting moment of shared vulnerability. Its modest, human-scale focus makes it a representative artifact of the early-2000s small-press scene.
