Ballad for Sophie

In 2021, IDW launched Ballad for Sophie, a graphic novel by artist Juan Cavia that tells the story of a young journalist who uncovers the hidden past of a reclusive piano virtuoso. This single-issue release explores themes of memory, music, and trauma through Cavia's expressive, watercolor-infused artwork. A poignant, character-driven drama, it stands as a quiet standout in IDW's catalog for its intimate storytelling and visual lyricism.
