ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria for the End Times

In Andrew MacLean’s ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria for the End Times, a lone woman and her cat navigate a lush, overgrown world long after civilization has crumbled. Published by Dark Horse in 2020, this single-issue comic is a self-contained, visually striking story from MacLean, who both writes and illustrates. It matters as a compact, heartfelt take on the post-apocalyptic genre, focusing on survival, companionship, and the quiet beauty found in desolation.
