Dork #9
In "Must I Tell You," two former fanboys return to confront their old friend Bill about his unrelenting geek lifestyle, only to find themselves irresistibly drawn back into the very world they’d tried to escape. Written and drawn entirely by Evan Dorkin, this 2001 issue captures the bittersweet humor of nostalgia and the quiet rebellion of staying true to your passions. The cover, also by Dorkin, perfectly encapsulates the story’s mix of affection and absurdity.
