Title: Feast of Fields
Date: 2018
Publisher: Conundrum Press
Writer: Sean Karemaker
Artist: Sean Karemaker
Autobiographical comic telling the story of the author's mother and her time living in an orphanage in Denmark. This story does follows the natural jumping-around pattern of memories, with bits of different parts of the author's life and the stories that his mother told him about her own. The result is a flow that feels comfortable in spite of all the jumping around.
All of this is reinforced by the surreal quality of the artwork, in which dream elements are mixed with the realities of life.
This is a simple story of family connections and memories, and a very real one, but the art makes the mundane turn magical.
Rating: 8.5/10
