The Mire

A moody, black-and-white fantasy from 2012, The Mire is a single-issue comic entirely written and illustrated by Becky Cloonan. It drops readers into a stark, atmospheric world where a lone figure navigates a treacherous, mist-shrouded landscape, its quiet tension and haunting visuals marking Cloonan as a singular talent in independent comics. The issue stands as a compact, self-contained story that showcases her distinctive, expressive linework and gift for building dread without a single word of dialogue.
