Josh Bayer gave himself an interesting creative challenge with Unended: adapting his late father’s unfinished play into a comic. In the process of doing so, he’s created a fascinating memoir that melds the plot of this play, memories of his childhood and the conversations surrounding the making of the comic into a dreamy, colorful work that feels alive with dynamic page layouts and frenetic linework.

Bayer is a comics teacher and cartoonist known for works such as Rom and Theth. With Unended, Bayer brings his signature art style to what ultimately amounts to a memoir. Bayer discovers that his father drew from his family life for the play. This naturally leads to Unended blending the play’s plot with Bayer’s own perspective of the family.
