The Clouds Above

A quiet, wordless fantasy from Fantagraphics, The Clouds Above follows a young boy and his cat on a dreamlike journey through the sky. Created solely by Jordan Crane, this single 2005 issue unfolds in delicate, atmospheric panels, using only imagery to tell its story of wonder and gentle peril. Its sparse, poetic approach and Crane's distinctive linework make it a notable example of silent comics storytelling from the early 2000s.
