The Fort

In The Fort (2016–present), writer-artist Kate McDonough crafts a quiet, introspective one-shot comic about a solitary woman maintaining a remote coastal fortress. Published as a single issue, this debut work from McDonough explores themes of isolation, routine, and resilience through spare, evocative art and a meditative narrative. It stands as a striking, self-contained debut that showcases McDonough’s talent for atmospheric storytelling.
