Fielder (2025)

The multi-Ignatz winning, Eisner and Harvey nominated cartoonist is still at it. In Fielder #4, dense but pleasant mid-western weather moves in, fastpitch softball pitching duels are recalled. Issue #2 was on the Comics Journal’s Ten best comics of 2024, and this one will surely win even more awards. Includes the next chapter of Huizenga’s long running adaptation of the old Dell comics series, here re-named “BONA.” Glenn Ganges, in different genre-bending roles, thinks and acts in reaction to his circumstances, to meet his goals. In the new chapter of his ongoing "Fielder, Michiana," Glenn continues his walk through the mid-sized midwestern town of Fielder on a Saturday afternoon. Cartooning as poetry and graphic design, good pitching, good defense, and will strike you out.
