Beverly

Nick Drnaso's Beverly (2016–present, Drawn & Quarterly) is a quietly unsettling graphic novel collection of interconnected short stories, each following different characters navigating the mundane yet deeply alienating terrain of suburban life. Drnaso's signature flat, precise art style and deadpan storytelling capture a generation's emotional isolation with unnerving clarity. Though published as a single volume, its impact has been significant, marking Drnaso as a defining voice in contemporary literary comics.
