How I Tried to Be a Good Person

Ulli Lust’s How I Tried to Be a Good Person is a raw, autobiographical comic from Fantagraphics, chronicling the artist’s attempt to navigate a polyamorous relationship in the wake of a breakup. Launched in 2019, this single-issue work captures a messy, honest moment in Lust’s life, exploring the gap between good intentions and flawed human behavior. It’s a compact, unflinching look at intimacy and self-deception from a celebrated European cartoonist.
