The Sands

In this three-issue series from 1996–1997, Black Eye published a quiet, surreal journey by writer/artist Tom Hart. The story follows a man who finds himself inexplicably trapped in a desert of shifting sand, where memory and identity dissolve under an endless sun. Hart’s minimalist linework and sparse storytelling create a meditative, almost hallucinatory atmosphere. The Sands stands as a distinctive example of 1990s alternative comics, exploring existential isolation with a stark, poetic touch.
