Mountain World

Clint Hollingsworth’s Mountain World (1991–present, Icicle Ridge Graphics) is a singular, personal comic that blends naturalist observation with a gentle sense of wonder. Set in the rugged landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, the series follows the quiet adventures of a solitary mountain man and his encounters with the region’s wildlife and changing seasons. Over its single issue and ongoing life, Hollingsworth’s detailed, woodcut-inspired art and thoughtful storytelling have made it a cherished, low-key gem of self-published comics. It matters as a meditative, creator-driven work that celebrates the beauty of the wild with uncommon patience and craft.
