Manya: Marie

Jen Benka and Kris Dresen collaborated on this single-issue comic from Vagabond Press, Inc., which offers a poetic, intimate portrait of the young Marie Curie before her scientific fame. Published in 1997, the book uses spare text and evocative art to imagine the inner life of the future Nobel laureate. It stands as a quiet, thoughtful character study within the small-press comics landscape.
