Curses

Kevin Huizenga's Curses is a single-issue comic from Drawn & Quarterly that collects a series of short, interconnected stories exploring the quiet strangeness of suburban life and the everyday anxieties that haunt his characters. Huizenga's precise, deceptively simple linework and dense, thoughtful panels create a world where mundane moments—a missed golf shot, a late-night drive—unfold with the weight of a curse or a minor miracle. This 2006 release is a landmark of the alt-comics movement, showcasing Huizenga's ability to blend humor, melancholy, and formal experimentation into a deeply human, quietly brilliant work.
