The Eisner and Lambda Literary Award–nominated creator of Thirsty Mermaids and coauthor of the bestselling Lumberjanes series returns with this heartfelt new graphic novel!
Compelling and unforgettable, this is a year in the post-apocalyptic life of Spoke, a nonverbal cargo bicycle courier who uses ASL and serves her tight-knit surrounding communities in a world where all power sources were neutralized long ago by a mysterious force. Spoke journeys through life alone in this reverted pre-industrial landscape, but a chance connection made with a stranger suddenly makes her feel not so alone anymore.
