Percy Gloom

Cathy Malkasian's Percy Gloom (Fantagraphics, 2007–present) is a singular, quietly surreal comic about a small, gentle man navigating a strange, whimsical world. With Malkasian handling both writing and art, the series blends a deceptively simple, storybook-like visual style with a deeply philosophical, melancholic tone. Its lone issue establishes a unique, contemplative atmosphere, making it a distinctive work from a creator better known for her animation background.
