The Can Opener's Daughter

Rob Davis writes and illustrates this single-issue graphic novel from SelfMadeHero, a surreal and poignant story that twists the familiar fairy tale of the tin soldier into a meditation on memory and loss. Set in a world of rust and forgotten toys, it follows a tin can soldier on a quest to find the daughter of the original can opener. Davis’s intricate, melancholic artwork and unconventional narrative make this 2016 release a quietly memorable standalone work.
