Sacred Heart

In this silent, black-and-white graphic novel from Fantagraphics, Liz Suburbia crafts a hauntingly quiet coming-of-age tale set in a suburban town where all the adults have vanished. Through expressive, detailed linework and wordless storytelling, Suburbia follows a group of teenagers left to navigate their own rules, desires, and consequences in a world without supervision. A singular, self-contained work, Sacred Heart stands as a powerful example of how a single cartoonist can build an entire emotional universe without a single spoken word.
