Description
Set against the fading landscape of twentieth-century capitalism, this graphic novel follows brothers Abe and Simon Matchcard, heirs to a once-thriving fan business now consigned to decline. As the company—and the world around it—changes, Abe’s bluster and Simon’s isolation reveal two very different responses to failure, memory, and the burdens of family legacy. Through quiet routines, fractured recollections, and a deeply atmospheric portrait of mid-century advertising and domestic life, the story explores loneliness, mental health, masculinity, and the uneasy boundary between self-invention and reality. Rendered in Seth’s distinctive blue-and-black artwork, it is a melancholic, darkly funny, and profoundly empathetic study of two men disappearing into the ruins of their shared past.
