Nearly wordless, it conveys its multiple stories through what first seems like simple art, but which is actually precision & emotional depth pared down to a few carefully placed lines & patches of flat color. The stories follow a day in the life of a young man working in a nursing home, and a young boy delivering newspapers before losing himself in videogames. The natural world is presented in counterpoint to these quotidian activities: birds & squirrels going about their own lives, observing the human world (which we see from their POV).But that basic synopsis hardly begins to capture the intertwining emotions & unnoticed revelations of this book. A seemingly minor image early on will be repeated in different context later in the book, investing it with greater meaning -- a meaning we realize was there all along, if only we had the eyes & sensitivity to see it. The references to autumn become ever more metaphoric as the stories progress. The starlings are preparing for their annual migration, as several denizens of the nursing home see on a BBC nature program; at the same time, it's clear that those denizens will be making their own final migration very soon. The delivery boy loses himself in violent sci-fi videogames as a means of both escape & exploring a wider universe, while oblivious to the actual universe around him, filled with countless forms of life & an infinite sky of stars. A single panel showing him seated before the glowing screen of his game, in a bedroom filled with pop culture detritus, is one of the saddest things I've seen in a long time.And yet the opening & closing images of the book aren't of human beings, but of birds & tree branches. There's a distinct lyrical tone to the book, which proceeds at a slow, measured pace, inviting us to pause & savor the tiniest of everyday details. More than that, it invites us to notice those details in our own lives as well. Not for every taste, especially for those who want nothing more than blatant action & overwrought, one-dimensional "entertainment" -- but for the thoughtful reader, most highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go with the flow *by P***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2014* Oddly meditative. There's a rhythm to it draws you in. Ended with wanting to know more about the characters and the life in Dockwood. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2015* amazing drawings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/24005318-dockwood-graphic-novel-hardcover-december-4-2012](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/24005318-dockwood-graphic-novel-hardcover-december-4-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
