The Tessellation

Mike Phillips and artist Hernán González launched The Tessellation in 2021 for Martian Lit, a single-issue comic that introduces a self-contained, visually intricate story. The series explores patterns of connection and fractured realities, with González’s detailed linework giving the premise a hypnotic, geometric feel. Though brief, it stands as a tight, atmospheric debut from a small press, showing what a focused creative duo can achieve in a single, deliberate issue.
