Description

At this point I feel like Kevin Huizenga has firmly established himself as one of the best working cartoonists we have. Largely known for his �everyman� character �Glenn Ganges,� Huizenga�s Glenn Ganges in: The River at Night, a story about the protagonist unable to get to sleep after he drinks a cup of coffee to late in his day, is in the conversation for one of the best comics of the 2010s. With the simple premise of Glenn not being able to sleep, Huizenga is able to have each attempt at sleep delayed with new distractions for Glenn to think about, from past regrets, personal recollections, time spent playing first-person shooter video games, recalling books he read about rock formations, you know all the places far and wide your mind travels to during the unsleepable nights of introspection. Who among us have not had one of these nights.

This page, from the last issue/part of the book, starts with Glenn in �The Hall of Mirrors of Nature� where in the first panel he is literally finding where he is in the comic as the pages are laid out in front of him, there is a note Huizenga makes above this panel to add the drawing of the next page later and check proportions so he could come back and correctly show the later page that had not been drawn yet. I love this page and Huizenga has been hesitant about letting go of the more dense meta pages from the book so I am extremely happy I was able to get this one.

This page was discussed briefly on Living the Line�s overview of Huizenga and can be found here: https://youtu.be/-Nf9MEDbddU?si=l-GNpcjRIH2DkmYN&t=1220

Note: This page was changed a bit in photoshop mostly in the bottom half, with some moving around of images, slight editing of parts, and a few character redraws.

This is a good kind of crazy. Every panel's contents bleed into another in some way, so "finding himself" in the first panel doesn't help that much. Congrats on a great page!

This predates all the immersive experiences traveling attractions that have popped up in recent years as Huizenga has us follow Glenn on his journey of exploration and self discovery. In panel form Ganges breaks through all of them to observe from all directions in and outside of them.
