Fantagraphics Books will publish a graphic novel collection of the popular webcomic Sacred Heart in Summer 2015.
Written and drawn by Liz Suburbia, the story involves present day high-schoolers in a town without adults, trying to keep their make-shift society running until their parents return. But students keep dying mysteriously, and Ben Schiller’s sister keeps disappearing; who knows if anyone will make it through the summer?
"Sacred Heart floored me in the way that it echoes so many of my favorite coming-of-age comics, including Jaime Hernandez's early Locas work and Charles Burns's Black Hole," said Fantagraphics Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds. "(A)nd yet does so in a way that is wholly original and reflective of her own generation."
