Genus #39

In "ANThony," Greg Bear writes and draws a quietly unsettling story about obsession and isolation, following a lonely man who takes a job at a tennis club to be near a woman he admires—only to cross a line he can't undo. The issue’s stark, intimate artwork and restrained tone amplify the tension of a single, forbidden act, all rendered with the distinctive hand of Greg Bear, whose full creative control extends to lettering and inking. Brian O'Connell’s cover captures the story’s eerie stillness, a quiet moment that hints at something deeply off-kilter.
