In Waves

In Waves (2019–present, Nobrow) is a singular, self-contained graphic novel by A. J. Dungo, who both writes and illustrates this debut work. The book interweaves the history of surfing with a deeply personal story of love and loss, charting the sport’s evolution alongside the author’s own relationship. Dungo’s elegant, muted artwork and spare narrative give the book a quiet, meditative power, making it a distinctive and affecting addition to contemporary graphic memoir and surf culture literature.
