About this project
Miss Lonelyhearts is a comic book adaptation of the Nathanael West novella. The Depression-era story is about a young writer hired to be a newsaper advice columnist. The desperation and sorrow of the letters he receives drives him into a deep depression, and he tries different methods of coping with the outrageous injustice of the world. But the story is also very darkly comic, which is what drew me in to it. I am serializing the story chapter by chapter. This 36-page comic book adapts the first chapter ("Help Me Miss Lonelyhearts, Help me, help me") and throws you right into the heart of the story.
