Eye of the Majestic Creature

Leslie Stein's Eye of the Majestic Creature (2011–present, Fantagraphics) is a quietly surreal, three-issue comic series that follows a young woman named Larry Bear as she navigates the mundane and magical corners of city life. Stein's loose, expressive linework and dreamlike storytelling create a warm, off-kilter world where talking animals and everyday anxieties coexist. The series stands out as a distinctive, intimate voice in alternative comics, cementing Stein as a singular talent in contemporary graphic storytelling.
