Young Shadow

Ben Sears brings a singular, retro-futurist vision to Young Shadow, a Fantagraphics series that began in 2021. With only a single issue released so far, the series introduces a world of clean, colorful lines and offbeat adventure, hinting at a unique voice in modern independent comics. It matters as a showcase for Sears's distinctive aesthetic, blending a playful, almost vintage cartooning style with a contemporary, slightly surreal sensibility.
