Luke Healy’s ′14 spent the last half of 2016 walking the Pacific Crest Trail alone. And since then he has been working on his comic about the experience. His third book—Americana (and the Act of Getting Over It)—is coming out from NoBrow in fall 2019.
Growing up in Dublin, this memoir is about growing up obsessed with the US and how walking the PCT was a big life goal. For a brief snippet, Luke has a comic up at The Nib about learning that his paternal grandfather was dying while on the lonely hike.

Previously, Luke Healy has published Permanent Press (Avery Hill, 2018) and How To Survive the North (NoBrow, 2017), originally created as his CCS thesis.
