The End of Summer

A quiet, melancholic graphic novel from Avery Hill, The End of Summer captures a single, pivotal moment in a family's life as they gather at their beloved summer home for what may be the last time. Written and illustrated by a single creator, this 2016 debut issue is a tender, wordless meditation on memory, change, and the bittersweet passage of time. Its importance lies in how it distills an entire emotional universe into a few silent, beautifully rendered pages, making it a standout example of contemporary slice-of-life storytelling.
