I always want to like Tillie Walden's work more than I actually end up liking it. My favorite story in here was probably either A CITY INSIDE, which I read earlier this year, or THE END OF SUMMER. She's incredibly talented, but her stories either feel too short or way too long (ON A SUNBEAM) for me
Tillie Walden is a phenomenal artist and graphic novelist. It is even more stunning to realize she achieved success so early in her career. At present she is 25 has been awarded two Eisner Awards for her graphic memoir, Spinning, and Are You Listening?, and is likely my favorite artist working in the genre. Alone in Space is a gorgeous, hardbound collection containing her first three graphic novels--The End of Summer, i love this part, and A City Inside--as well as her early publications, cours...
I was read for filth and I cried like a newborn child
There's not much I can say about this collection other than that I absolutely adored it! Though I don't think I fully understood The End of Summer, my favourites in the collection were I Love This Part, The City Inside, Slumberland, Cramped, Ghibli, The Weather Woman, and The Fader. Some of the comics even managed to make me cry! What I do know is that Tillie Walden is now on my list of auto-buy authors!Want more queer books? You can find me here: Book Blog | Twitter | Instagram
Lovely collection of early work by this prodigiously talented young cartoonist. You can see the beginnings of a brilliant career within these pages. My interview feature with Walden is now up on Publishers Weekly: https://bit.ly/3wA7zAX
Alone in Space compiles Walden's first published comic The End of Summer, which follows, Lars, a boy battling illness, and his twin sister, Maja, in a secluded castle at the beginning of an endless winter with a giant cat to keep Lars company. As winter progresses family tensions boil over. The art in this story is stunning, but the plot was hard to follow in the second half. Because the characters were hard to distinguish I was left a little confused in the end. I enjoyed the setting and concep...
3.5 starsI really enjoyed this collection! Some stories were better than others, I especially loved the stories that had a space theme. Really touching and thoughtful and loved the art style!
I don’t think I will ever be able to get over how talented Walden is. Alone in Space is a collection of three graphic novellas and early comic work Walden did from age 16-20, which just blows my mind that she was so truly creative and inventive when she was so young. I’ve read some of these shorts before online but seeing them altogether really shows her development as an writer. As an artist, it’s wonderful to see her experiment, flourish, and find her style.She really continues to be an inspir...
Tillie Walden is my must-buy author. Anytime she releases a book, I must run out and buy it - it is the law. When I saw this beautiful collection announced, I was a bit torn - I had, of course, hoped for a new self-contained story, but was also excited to finally complete my collection, as I don't own physical copies of The End of Summer or A City Inside. The collection itself is beautifully made and each story holds its own while also not falling out of line - seeing as how some of Tillie's ear...
this was so lovely!!!
Tillie Walden has an uncanny talent for breaking my heart in a handful of panels
