Nick Drnaso’s new graphic novel, Sabrina (Drawn & Quarterly), is a subtle, heart-wrenching, multifaceted look at loneliness and loss in our lunatic asylum of a country and an impressive follow-up to his 2016 debut, Beverly.
Sabrina is highly relevant to the current moment, in which conspiracy theories, from the machinations of the so-called deep state to the supposed NASA slave colony on Mars, have colonized all our brains to some degree or another. This relevancy wasn’t intended, which may be why it doesn’t feel contrived.
