Eartha

Cathy Malkasian’s Eartha, a Fantagraphics series launched in 2017, follows a solitary woman living in a remote, post-industrial landscape, exploring themes of memory and isolation through a spare, poetic visual style. Malkasian, the sole artist and writer, crafts a quiet, atmospheric narrative that unfolds across a single issue, distinguished by her delicate linework and a distinctive, contemplative tone. This series matters as a showcase for Malkasian’s unique voice in alternative comics, offering a meditative, word-of-mouth gem for readers seeking understated storytelling.
