Lost Soul, Be at Peace

In Lost Soul, Be at Peace (2020–present, Candlewick Press), a single-issue graphic novel explores the quiet, interior journey of a young person grappling with depression and the search for self-acceptance. Written and illustrated by Maggie Thrash, this standalone work uses a muted, introspective visual style to trace the protagonist’s tentative steps toward healing. It matters for its tender, unflinching portrayal of mental health in a medium often more focused on action, offering a resonant, deeply personal story for readers of all ages.
