Good As Lily

Derek Kirk Kim and Jesse Hamm’s Good As Lily (2007, DC) is a single-issue coming-of-age story about a young woman who, after a strange birthday wish, finds herself split into three separate versions of herself at different ages. This compact, emotionally resonant tale explores identity and the messy process of growing up through a clever, heartfelt lens. As a standalone graphic novella from DC, it showcases Kim’s sharp dialogue and Hamm’s expressive, cartoonish art in a uniquely intimate superhero-adjacent premise.
