Gleam: A Keepsakes Story

In Gleam: A Keepsakes Story, Carey Pietsch spins a tender, standalone fantasy about a young person navigating the quiet magic of memory and loss. Published in 2015, this single-issue comic introduces a world where keepsakes hold emotional weight, and its intimate, hand-drawn art by Pietsch herself gives the story a gentle, folkloric warmth. A small but resonant entry in the Keepsakes universe, it showcases Pietsch’s skill for blending slice-of-life introspection with gentle fantasy.
