VOLUME 1: WISH YOU WERE HERE
Emilia and the man with the veil of smoke have set out for the ocean in a stolen truck. There’s a bloody handprint on his neck. She’s beginning to worry it’s hers.
Racing to deliver her mother’s ashes to the Atlantic Ocean, Emilia and Death will make stops – in Vegas, in towns that don’t exist any more, in an aspen forest, at the bottom of the sea – for Death to do his work, and escape three of his former colleagues who have been ordered to hunt down Emilia at any cost. And in between motel rooms and abandoned trains and a high school prom, they’ll have to come to grips – or not – with what’s happening to Emilia.
Death and the Maiden go on a road trip. Nobody gets out alive.
Drawn in alternate perspectives by Annie Wu and Ming Doyle, TWO GRAVES follows Death and Emilia on a road trip through diners, aspens, and the deep. Colors by Lee Loughridge; letters by Aditya Bidikar.
Featuring original essays:
- “where do stars go when they die,” Sarah McCarry
- “Lost Vegas,” Veronica Schanoes
- “On the Matter of Australian Cemeteries,” Stephanie Lai
- “Prom Wars,” N. K. Jemisin
- “Myrmicomycology,” Ekaterina Sedia

“Filled with gorgeous coloring and prose, this gentle debut ramps up into something incredibly special by the end.”—ComicBook.com
“[TWO GRAVES]is a comic filled with death and questions. We are taken quite far into a world with characters that are yet to be understood, butit is very easy to want to follow them further. How far the mystical nature of the story goes is hinted at with actual images of Persephone, so it is hard to know what to expect. The almost constant threat of death or potential death between the protagonists raises eyebrows, and the rest of the story means that they will never go down again.”—But Why Tho?
“Beautiful and mysterious… This comic’s implicit trust in the audience to figure out what’s going on is its greatest strength. With intentionally obfuscated but lovely poeticism and an intriguing dual-artist approach, TWO GRAVES is off to… [an] utterly engaging start.—Monkeys Fighting Robots“
[TWO GRAVES]takes readers on a road trip like none other, where melancholy and philosophy meet to create a haunting atmosphere.”—Comic Book Resources
