Old Growth

A new, ongoing series from Fantagraphics launched in 2020, Old Growth is a quiet, atmospheric comic about a botanist’s solitary life in a remote forest. Written and drawn by Jesse Lonergan, the debut issue establishes a meditative tone, focusing on the quiet rhythms of nature and a mysterious discovery that disrupts the protagonist’s isolation. Its lush, detailed artwork and unhurried storytelling mark it as a thoughtful addition to the publisher’s line of literary comics.
