Americana (and the Act of Getting over It) by The Center for Cartoon Studies graduate Luke Healy ′14 released September 10. This autobiography centers around Luke’s hike over the Pacific Crest Trail. The trail runs 2660 miles down the west coast of the United States, a grueling test of body and spirit. Luke’s life-changing journey weaves in and out of humorous reflections on his experiences in America and his development as an artist.
Praise for Americana:
“A thought-provoking graphic novel about the exploration of the Arctic […] Healy’s narrative gains power from the interconnecting stories and a carefully chosen thematic color palette, but above all it is powered by his brilliant handling of the wordless panels where so much of the story is told.”
—Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED REVIEW“Healy is a master of stitching together narrative threads like a double helix of twinned realities.”
—The Washington Post
“We’ve described Healy as ‘one of the most exciting newer prospects in comics’ in the past and Americana is set to take him up to the next deserved level of recognition.” —Andy Oliver’s staff pick at Broken Frontier
Previously, Luke Healy has published How to Survive in the North (NoBrow, 2017) and Permanent Press (Avery Hill Publishing, 2018).
