The Big Break

In The Big Break (2020–present, Little, Brown), a single-issue comic series, artist and writer Mark Crilley delivers a heartfelt, standalone story about a young musician chasing her dreams in the competitive world of indie rock. This slim, character-driven volume captures the nervous energy of a first big performance and the quiet moments of doubt that come with creative ambition. Crilley’s warm, expressive art and understated dialogue make this a charming, intimate snapshot of a pivotal night in one artist’s life.
