The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil by Stephen Collins
In this graphic novel, readers are transported to the tidy, predictable island of Here, where everything is in its proper place, and the unkempt realm of There looms ominously nearby. The protagonist, Dave, lives a monotonous life until one day, his face sprouts an unstoppable, massive beard that disrupts the order of Here. The beard's wild growth challenges the community's obsession with conformity and control, leading to chaos and a profound exploration of fear, change, and humanity's relationship with nature. The narrative, told through evocative illustrations and sparse text, delves into themes of individuality versus society, the unknown, and the thin line between order and madness.
