The Ugly Tree

Abrahm Akin’s The Ugly Tree (2013–present) is a three-issue comic series written and drawn entirely by Akin, exploring a small, strange world where a lone, misshapen tree becomes the focal point for a community’s secrets and strange happenings. Published outside the mainstream, the series stands as a quiet, self-contained work of personal storytelling, notable for its singular artistic vision and intimate, offbeat atmosphere.
