There was Raleigh.
The New York Times takes note of Scott O'Malley's graphic novel, Lost at Sea.
From the piece...
Though “Scott Pilgrim” dishes out its share of confusion and angst, “Lost at Sea” is much more melancholy. It captures the pain and desperate limbo of being 18 and aimless — and is a book I’d recommend for any brooding, sensitive, searching teenager who could use a reminder that she’s not alone.
Its protagonist is the doleful Raleigh, who’s on a road trip with a threesome of friends who aren’t really her friends, and who feels so empty inside that she’s come to believe her soul has been stolen by a cat.
“This is hard to admit but I am terrified of everything,” Raleigh says. “Sometimes I get very scared by my own hair falling into my face.”
