"The Nobody," is a fantastic original graphic novel by Jeff Lemire (a favorite creator of mine) that has been out of print for some time. Originally released by Veritgo (when it existed) as a hardcover in 2009 and a paperback in 2010, it is a bit of a retelling of that horror classic, "The Invisible Man," but reimagined in a number of ways. It's a bit sci-fi, a bit horror, and features Lemire's gorgeous art along with his writing.
Taking place in a small fishing village in 1994, the town finds itself intrigued by the arrival of a man covered in bandages who claims he was a burn victim in the past, but seems to be hiding a lot of secrets. Some of my favorite work by Lemire marries everyday life with strange and surreal elements, so "The Nobody," was a book I loved way back before I even had this blog to write about it. Now, however, I have the blog and the book is coming back into print via Dark Horse. So yeah, preorder your copy of, "The Nobody," for its re-release in February of 2026!
