Off Season

In Off Season (2019–present, Drawn & Quarterly), James Sturm crafts a quiet, introspective graphic novel about a man grappling with the aftermath of a personal and political crisis during a winter retreat. Published as a single issue, this work showcases Sturm's signature blend of understated storytelling and expressive, minimalist art, capturing a moment of solitude and reflection in contemporary America. It matters as a poignant, character-driven meditation on resilience and the search for meaning in troubled times.
