Underwater #2

"Underwater Chapter Two" continues Chester Brown’s quietly powerful exploration of personal correspondence, weaving together intimate letters from a diverse cast of real-life voices—Monte Beauchamp, David Delahoussaye, Willard B. Taylor Jr., Bob & Adele Levin, Jack Young Jr., Jeremy Pinkham, Bill Wray, and Thomas Vorwerk—each offering a glimpse into private moments and everyday reflections. Rendered in Brown’s signature stark, expressive style with lettering by the artist himself, this 1994 issue from Drawn & Quarterly captures the quiet resonance of human connection, one handwritten page at a time. The cover, also by Chester Brown, mirrors the introspective tone with its simple, evocative line work.
