Dull Margaret

In 2018, Fantagraphics released Dull Margaret, a single-issue comic by artist Dix that reimagines an aging, isolated figure from a classic English folktale. Set in a stark, expressionistic landscape, the book explores themes of loneliness and survival through its sparse, haunting visuals. Though brief, this understated work stands as a distinctive example of contemporary graphic storytelling, showcasing Dix’s ability to evoke deep emotion with minimal text.
