About the series
A warm, offbeat slice-of-life series published by Image Comics, The Li'l Depressed Boy (2011–2013) follows its titular, soft-spoken protagonist through the quiet highs and lows of everyday existence. Written by S. Steven Struble and illustrated by Sina Grace, the book’s 16-issue run balances gentle humor with genuine melancholy, exploring friendship, romance, and the struggle to connect. Its distinctive, minimalist art style and heartfelt, understated storytelling made it a beloved cult entry in the indie-comics landscape of the early 2010s.
