Brian Wood is best known as the writer behind the fierce New York dystopian comic DMZ, which posits a future in which Manhattan is in the grips of a Baghdad-style civil warfare. But one of his most personal works is Local, a collection of twelve co-ordinated stories around vagabond Megan McArdle and the cities she lives in, from Minneapolis to Richmond to Halifax. One of Local's most moving stories takes place in Park Slope, and with the hardback collection of Local coming to stores next calendar month, we're pleased to show an undivided excerpt on the Comics Page.
Read the entire saga of Megan McArdle, in Local, out in September from Oni Press.
