The Comics
Something Like Summer began life as a critically-acclaimed book that spawned a series of novels and a film adaptation. Now the story is being retold, this time accompanied by full-color illustrations. As a lifelong fan of comics, I wanted to explore the warmth and intimacy of Ben’s relationships utilizing a medium that combines visuals with the written word.
This isn’t a simple retelling. The plot is set in a modern decade, forcing the characters to deal with a different set of circumstances. This allows the story to go in new and unexpected directions, although mostly it’s just a fantastic way of filling your heart with all sorts of incredible feelings and awesome art.
Each graphic novel contains an extensive gallery of bonus art full of cute boys and so much more!
The complete series is collected in three volumes. Each is available as a printed graphic novel or as an eBook. Start reading now at the links below!
