Alone in Space – Tillie Walden – (324 pages, English, hardcover, published by Avery Hill Publishing)

Alone in Space

A collection of stories by American comic artist Tillie Walden (known for, among others, ‘Spinning’ and ‘On a Sunbeam’). In 'The End of Summer', Lars battles illness and boredom in a remote castle at the start of an endless winter, with a giant cat for company and crumbling family ties that put his strength to the test.

In 'I Love This Part', two girls from a small town try to kill time and struggle through school, when an unexpected romance blossoms. And the surreal 'A City Inside' tells the life story of a woman from childhood, in a poetic tale of growing up when you think you have already left that phase behind.

The book also contains never-before-collected early sketches and webcomics, including the short comic 'What It's Like To Be Gay In An All-Girls Middle School'.
