What if a comic book could remember being read?

Told through the eyes of a genre-defining comic book issue, this book is an intimate, time-laced journey across two continents, through lives touched, forgotten, and remembered – all from the quiet vantage point of a story that slowly realizes that it, too, is alive. From bookstore shelves to bedroom floors, from under-bed gatherings to long exiles, the comic endures wear, love, neglect, rediscovery, and eventually, devoutness.

As owners grow up and away, as pages wrinkle and voices blur, the comic issue begins to understand the fragility of nature, the fleeting state of memory, and what it means to be truly seen. This novel explores the subtle heartbreaks of growing older, the invisible weight of objects we carry, and the quiet dignity of being held, if only for a while.

Haunting, gentle, and deeply human, this is a story about stories – how they bind us, shape us, and sometimes outlast us.

This novel speaks to anyone who has ever loved a book so deeply it began to feel alive.
