Big Kids

A single-issue debut from Drawn & Quarterly, Big Kids is a standalone graphic novel by Michael DeForge that distills the surreal, incisive storytelling he’s known for. It follows a young man navigating the bizarre, often unsettling transitions of early adulthood, rendered in DeForge’s signature vibrant, off-kilter art. Though brief, the book captures a distinct, character-driven moment in contemporary indie comics, showcasing DeForge’s talent for blending the mundane with the grotesque.
