Lost at Sea is a graphic novel by Bryan Lee O'Malley, creator of the Scott Pilgrim series. First published in 2003 by Oni Press, it tells the coming-of-age story of a shy 18-year-old girl named Raleigh, who believes her soul was stolen by a cat, and the road trip she takes across the United States with several kids from her school that she barely knows. “Lost at Sea (Comics).” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 17 Aug. 2017, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_at_Sea_(comics).
thin narrative, but damn if it isn't a near-perfect example of comics making from its era. everything i wanted it to be.
Had a better appreciation for the depiction of anxiety when I read it the second time. I still think the ending is a bit abrupt, but the underlying theme is illustrated well.
A 3.5 rounded down.
