No One Else

In No One Else, cartoonist R. Kikuo Johnson (Fantagraphics, 2021–present) crafts a singular, introspective comic that explores the quiet pressures of family, art, and adulthood through the eyes of a young father on the island of Maui. Johnson’s precise, expressive linework and nuanced storytelling anchor this ongoing series, which matters for its sensitive, non-sensational portrayal of contemporary Hawaiian life and the universal weight of personal responsibility.
