Smalltown Boy

Andreas Michalke's Smalltown Boy is a single-issue comic from the German publisher Reprodukt, launched in 1999 and continuing as an ongoing series. A quiet, introspective work, it follows a young man's life in a small town, rendered in Michalke's distinctive, minimalist linework. The series matters as a sustained, personal exploration of provincial life and the passage of time, all from the singular vision of its creator.
