Helem

By Stanley Wany

Book Overview

Runner-up at the 2021 Expozine Awards: Best English Comic category

A surrealist journey through alienation, lost dreams, and self-redemption

A woman loses her sister to suicide and struggles with the overwhelming and confusing feelings that continue to plague her. A man reflects on a decade spent working in a call centre and the strange day-to-day momentum that caused him to unconsciously abandon his goals. Helem relies on a propulsive graphic narrative and evocative illustration to tell the intensely personal stories of two characters at a crossroads.

The nearly wordless stories contained in Helem, originally published by TRIP as "Agalma" and "Sequences", delve deep into the internal lives of their characters. Helem, created while Wany was in a hallucinatory state brought on by a severe lack of sleep, also provides an intimate look into his own personal dreamscape.
