Published in Australia by Allend and Unwin

A beautiful graphic novel suitable for older teens and adults. It considers some big picture ideas, of relationships, art and expectations. The Silence explores these ideas through beautifully rendered black and white drawings and bubble conversations between the characters – a couple on the road in search of the ultimate piece of art and the artist who created it. The author has a powerful ability to convey emotion and mood through his imagery and invariably leaves the reader with more questions than answers.
