Blue

Pat Grant’s Blue is a singular, self-contained graphic novel from Giramondo (2012–present) that uses a muted, hand-drawn palette to explore suburban alienation and the quiet strangeness of life in an Australian coastal town. Grant’s distinctive artwork—loose, expressive, and deeply atmospheric—anchors this single-issue work, which stands as a thoughtful, low-key meditation on place and memory. Though brief, Blue matters as a standout example of contemporary Australian indie comics, showcasing Grant’s ability to find profound humanity in the mundane.
