The Revival

A quiet, contemplative one-shot from Bear Bones Press, The Revival (1996) finds writer-artist James Sturm exploring the aftermath of a small-town tragedy. Rather than focusing on the event itself, the comic examines how a community slowly rebuilds and reconnects in its wake. Sturm's spare, evocative artwork and measured storytelling mark this as a poignant early example of his interest in historical and slice-of-life narratives.
