We’re thrilled to be publishing Whit Taylor’s new mini-comic, Montana Diary, with an unflinching look at the state’s complicated history.

Ignatz award-winning cartoonist Whit Taylor (The Nib, Fizzle) documents her road trip across Montana in this diary mini-comic, combining millennial humor with resonant observations about the state’s complicated history.

As she and her husband travel through semi-arid flatlands and sub-alpine mountains, Taylor reflects both on Montana’s breathtaking beauty and the enduring toll of Manifest Destiny on its land and people.

Balancing funny road trip anecdotes with thoughts on melting glaciers and the worrying prevalence of white nationalists, Montana Diary tells a slice of America’s story, knowing that you can’t separate its wonder from its tragedy.

32 pages; 5.5″ x 8.5″; ISBN: 978-1-945509-69-8; Diamond: MAR218006
