Alte Zachen

Set in a delicately rendered New York, Alte Zachen is a meditative, single-issue graphic novel from Hatje Cantz (2023–present) that follows an elderly Jewish woman and her grandson as they navigate the city's changing landscape. Artist Benjamin Phillips brings a warm, textured visual style to this quiet story about memory, heritage, and the weight of history carried in everyday places. The book matters for its tender, unhurried exploration of generational connection and urban displacement.
