Oni Press keeps on keeping on with gorgeous and interesting-sounding books. And that includes Outline, the graphic novel debut of Michèle Fischels. The book focuses on a group of three teens: Ben, his girlfriend Clara, and his best friend Andreas… Who are dealing with tensions between each other as the summer ends.
“OUTLINE is a beautifully rendered meditation on what it means to look out at the world with a fresh unfiltered perspective on what it truly means to grow up,” said Sierra Hahn, editor in chief, Oni Press, via press release. “Fischels’ fluid line work and expressive characters create a deeply relatable coming of age story about the pressures of growing up and having it all figured out…”

Outline Official Synopsis:
Oni Press – the multiple Eisner- and Harvey Award–winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to announce OUTLINE—the graphic novel debut of up-and-coming creator Michèle Fischels. Following a group of teens in their senior year of high school, OUTLINE portrays that special yet human phase in which we cautiously leave childhood behind and look to the future with uncertainty and anticipation.
For Ben, who is determined to enjoy the end of summer with his girlfriend, Clara, the mood gradually darkens as she begins to withdraw in a similar manner as his best friend, Andreas, had—and without explanation.
While tensions grow between Ben and Clara through the school year, Andreas struggles with his own demons, and suddenly final exams are upon them along with the inevitable questions from friends and family alike: What are you doing after school? Where will you enroll? Will you move out? What’s next? Maybe the answer for Ben and his classmates is to simply slow down and take a deep breath . . .
