Magnolia & Vern: Swamp Cat Scramble

In Magnolia & Vern: Swamp Cat Scramble, writer-artist Amanda E. Ahlstrom launched a single-issue comic in 2015 that follows a young girl and her cat through a whimsical, swampy adventure. Published as a standalone story, this debut issue showcases Ahlstrom’s distinctive, hand-drawn style and her talent for blending gentle humor with a touch of Southern gothic charm. It marks a charming entry in the creator’s body of work, offering a self-contained glimpse into a world where imagination and nature collide.
