CHRYSANTHEMUM UNDER THE WAVES by Maggie Umber
This gorgeous, emotional, and moving book finds Umber working deftly in a variety of styles that are both challenging and approachable at the same time. Excellent.
“In the nine comics collected here, Umber grieves for the loss of her former self – a wife, a co-founder of a successful publishing company, and a person with good health living in a pre-pandemic world. Over the course of nearly 300 pages, she says goodbye to all she held most dear. In Chrysanthemum Under the Waves, Umber uses the demon lover theme, first as a way to hold on to her past, and finally, as a way to let it go.”
284-page paperback, 6″ x 9″, color and b+w interiors. (Self-published)
