The Chair

The Chair, from Alterna Comics, is a taut, single-issue thriller launched in 2019 that unfolds entirely within the confines of a prison execution chamber. Written and illustrated by Peter Simeti, this stark black-and-white comic explores the final moments of a death row inmate and the moral weight carried by the executioner. Its claustrophobic, dialogue-driven narrative and haunting visuals make it a powerful, self-contained meditation on justice and consequence.
