Near and Far
Posted by Greg under: Friends .
Ages ago I talked about a certain magazine article that brought me back to reading comics after a longish gap. It also made me realised just what could be done with the form. There were two standout images that stayed with me ever since – the first is that little picture of Nick driving his car to Daisy’s house (which Nicki tells me was 1) the first car she ever drew and 2) was destroyed in an unfortunate toning experiment).
This is the second.
I didn’t see the whole story for years after, but just those two panels by themselves were incredibly moving for me. Still are, in fact – something happened that made me think of them just the other day.
The comics are drawn by the wonderful Amber Carvan, who has two comics projects (that I know of) on the boil at the moment:

Thanks, Amber.
