"Tom's Stag" is a quietly subversive and visually striking installment from Jennifer Camper’s Real Girl series, showcasing her singular voice as writer, artist, inker, and letterer. The issue unfolds as a playful yet poignant matching game, presenting eight women in the upper panel and eight in the lower, inviting readers to pair them in pursuit of lifelong connection—each illustration a small, intimate portrait of possibility. The cover, a crisp, expressive piece by Mary Fleener, captures the story’s wry, tender spirit.
