Hypericum

In Hypericum (2024–present, Fantagraphics), cartoonist K. Perkins crafts a moody, intimate drama set in a small coastal town where the boundaries between the living and the dead blur. This debut issue introduces a young woman grappling with grief and a mysterious botanical phenomenon that seems to echo her emotional state. With lush, atmospheric artwork and a slow-burn narrative, Perkins establishes a haunting tone that promises a deeply personal exploration of loss and connection.
