This is a great little book by Jay Howell published through Unpiano.

“The Dark Wave tells the story of a black metal band’s disenchanted lead singer. After succumbing to a panic attack on stage during a show, he flees into the night and quickly finds himself surrounded by the great wild. We follow his journey around the bend and out into the ocean – All dictated to us in vivid black and white, with Jay Howell’s sublime background artwork filing out the palette of grays. The Dark Wave and his journey to find it, relates to us that even during murky periods of loathing, strife and doubt, we will all find what we are looking for and learn how to stand on our own two feet.”
