No Better Words

Carolyn Nowak’s single-issue comic No Better Words, published by Silver Sprocket in 2017, is a quiet, intimate study of queer longing and connection. Nowak’s delicate, expressive linework and understated dialogue capture a fleeting moment between two women at a party, where unspoken feelings hang in the air. Though brief, it’s a resonant slice-of-life story that showcases Nowak’s gift for emotional nuance and her ability to find profound depth in everyday encounters.
