Demo #4
In "Stand Strong," Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan deliver a grounded, character-driven story centered on James McMurray, a third-generation factory worker whose quiet strength and unusual size make him an easy target for those around him. As personal loyalty clashes with long-held family expectations, James discovers that his power isn't just physical—it’s the courage to stand up for what’s right. The story’s emotional core is brought to life through Cloonan’s expressive art, both in the interior and on the cover, which she also penciled and inked.
