In Waves

A. J. Dungo's In Waves is a poignant, standalone graphic novel from Casterman that braids two narratives: the history of surfing and the author's own story of love and loss. With Dungo serving as both writer and artist, the book uses a muted palette and elegant linework to connect the lives of surfing legends with a deeply personal account of a partner's battle with cancer. This 2019 work stands out for its quiet, meditative power, weaving a tribute to the sport's pioneers into an intimate elegy.
