Artichoke Tales

Megan Kelso's Artichoke Tales (2010–present, Fantagraphics) is a single-issue comic that weaves a multigenerational saga about a family of women living in a fantastical, rural landscape. Kelso, who both writes and draws the series, uses delicate, expressive linework to explore themes of memory, connection, and the quiet magic of everyday life. This intimate, standalone work showcases her distinctive voice as a cartoonist and stands as a thoughtful contribution to the alternative comics tradition.
