The 120 Days of Simon

In 2012, Top Shelf launched The 120 Days of Simon, a single-issue comic that distills a lifetime of quiet desperation into a spare, haunting narrative. The series, which remains a standalone work, is defined by its stark, minimalist art and unflinching look at isolation and obsession. Though brief, it has resonated as a powerful example of how the medium can capture profound emotional weight in a compact form.
