Soft Wood

Shannon Wheeler’s Soft Wood (2019–present, Heavy Metal) is a singular, one-issue comic that blends autobiographical humor with surreal, offbeat reflections. As both writer and artist, Wheeler crafts a distinctive, deadpan voice that captures the mundane absurdities of modern life. A brief but memorable entry in Heavy Metal’s eclectic catalog, it showcases Wheeler’s knack for turning everyday moments into wry, thought-provoking vignettes.
