Alone in Space: A Collection
Alone In Space compiles award-winning cartoonist Tillie Walden’s short comics into a stunning and comprehensive collection of the early work which shot her to fame on both sides of the Atlantic.
We start with Tillie’s first published comic The End of Summer, in which Lars battles illness in a secluded castle at the start of an endless winter with a giant cat to keep him company amid mounting family tensions. Also featured are I Love This Part - Tillie’s bittersweet breakout story of small-town teen romance, and A City Inside - a study of growth and adulthood through a surreal and poetic recounting of one woman’s life.
Also included are never-before collected early sketches, prints, webcomics, and short stories from magazines, such as What It’s Like To Be Gay In An All-Girls Middle School.
If Tillie Walden is the future of comics, then the future starts here.

Tillie Walden is a phenomenal artist and graphic novelist. It is even more stunning to realize she achieved success so early in her career. At present she is 25 has been awarded two for her graphic memoir, , and , and is likely my favorite artist working in the genre. Alone in Space is a gorgeous, hardbound collection containing her first three graphic novels--, , and --as well as her early publications, coursework and other various artistic endeavours. This is a lovely book for fans as well as newcomers that showcases her craft and presents a unique look at the artist at work coming towards her signature styles. The artwork is simply breathtaking. Many of the stories are sad, like deeply sad in that feeling like the floor has dropped out from under you, but it is also a cleansing sort of sadness to read. A good cry. It’s a specific sadness that was very real to me in my teenage years and I think the way Walden captures it is very healing and beautiful. I Love This Part especially nails this bittersweet reflection on relationships. Walden is an absolute gem and this collection contains multitudes of genius.
Each of the three main stories is so gorgeously illustrated it seems unbelievable. While the first is a bit choppy and if someone were to say it was difficult to follow they wouldn’t be wrong, it is still a very moving piece that isn’t any less for not quite achieving the absolutely ambitious goals it set out to do. Here we see Walden really diving into architectural art while still being overly detailed and realistic with character designs, something it is fun to watch loosen up and develop into a really signature character vibe in her later work. Walden cites and Studio Ghibli as a major influence, which is apparent in her whimsicality, as well as which also shows up in the imaginativeness and is honored by naming the giant cat Nemo in this first story.

I Love This Part is absolutely devastating in a good way. Like, this book is worth it just for this. It is quick snapshots of the course of a relationship in a way that feels like poetry, both visual and through the brief snippets of conversation. You feel the whole thing through glimpses in a way that totally embodies the emotion in such a succinct and incredibly prodigious way. Here we also see Walden experimenting with color and her early signature style of characters writ large upon landscapes and architecture. It’s a really powerful artistic statement that makes me think of film. It’s both when the landscape dwarfs a character and a close up where the character overrides the setting, showing both the vastness of life yet centering in on how someone you love fills that entire space. This story is sure to bring tears and it feels so honest and real. It also seems to feature a character-type that appears in much of her work: the dark skinned girl who leaves the protagonist, usually for external reasons (here it is because she is, understandably, not ready to be openly gay). A City Inside is a beautiful fable-like story that also uses the characters large against a city (or dwarfed for emotional purposes) and addresses a different angle of relationships.
The various works at the end of the book are a joy to read through. It’s fascinating watching her perfect her style and experiment around, seeing early attempts at color to bits like The Fader which hint at the style she would us in On A Sunbeam, which isn’t just my favorite of her works but one of my absolute favorite graphic novels in general. Particularly noteworthy is the short What It’s Like to be Gay in an All-Girls Middle School which is so wonderfully open, honest, moving and very well paced. This section is great as well as each work begins with a short statement from the artist to provide context or insight. This is a wonderful portfolio of work.
Tillie Walden is a shining star and I’m so excited to follow her career. Everything she draws is absolutely gorgeous and her stories are so overflowing with emotion it is impossible to not be swept away.
5/5

I really enjoyed this collection! Some stories were better than others, I especially loved the stories that had a space theme. Really touching and thoughtful and loved the art style!

A 2021 collection of early works from Tillie Walden, who is now teaching at the Center for Comics Studies. I own half of this collection: The End of Summer, i love this part, and A City Inside, but it was fun to see it all lovingly collected together, to see the evolution of her craft over time. She's as of this year 25?!! and has two Eisner Awards for Spinning, and Are You Listening? This collection includes some work she did from age 16-20, including work she did at the CCS when she was a student.
"What it's like to be gay in an all-girls middle school" I had not previously read, but she admits it was an early/youthful piece that helped her rise in popularity. One things she makes clear here is that Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki are huge influences on her whimsical, ethereal, emotional style, the delicate line drawing, the pastel washes, the intimacy. Some combination of strength and fragility.
Walden is one of the best artists around; she likes to draw girls/women, cats, and architecture, among other things. The girls she depicts don't speak much but communicate perfectly well though subtle gestures and facial expressions. Art for introverts. Much of her work is available still online, but thanks to Avery Hill Publishing, we can read it in a beautiful hardcover edition.

December 28, 2022Not quite sure how to feel about/rate this one... It feels a bit disjointed as a collection, since one section is made up of three longer comics and the second is of Walden’s various comic strips when she was younger. I really liked I Love This Part, and while I didn’t quite understand This One Summer and The City Inside, they made me feel quite deep emotions. I also thought it very cool to be able to see the comics from Walden’s youth, as an insight into how her style and themes have stayed the same and grown since then. Walden’s art and stories always make me feel quite emotional—even if, like with two comics in here, I don’t fully understand them—and her art is imbued with a certain nostalgic, soothing atmosphere. The way this collection was put together might not have been the best way to display them, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

There's not much I can say about this collection other than that I absolutely adored it! Though I don't think I fully understood The End of Summer, my favourites in the collection were I Love This Part, The City Inside, Slumberland, Cramped, Ghibli, The Weather Woman, and The Fader. Some of the comics even managed to make me cry! What I do know is that Tillie Walden is now on my list of auto-buy authors!

I’m tempted to knock off a star based on the excessive number of dream sequences and references to Little Nemo in Slumberland (strong dislike!), but this is a collection of Tillie Walden’s early works and here's hoping she has gotten that stuff out of her system for going forward.
In addition to collecting three of her previous books -- , , -- the back end is full of short strips, some produced when she was as just 16. They range from autobiographical to experimental, school assignments to just for funsies.
A decent collection of uneven odds and ends from a talented creator on the rise.

I don’t think I will ever be able to get over how talented Walden is.
Alone in Space is a collection of three graphic novellas and early comic work Walden did from age 16-20, which just blows my mind that she was so truly creative and inventive when she was so young. I’ve read some of these shorts before online but seeing them altogether really shows her development as an writer. As an artist, it’s wonderful to see her experiment, flourish, and find her style.
She really continues to be an inspiration and influence to me and my own artwork: reading anything from her just absolutely cements that fact.

I always want to like Tillie Walden's work more than I actually end up liking it. My favorite story in here was probably either A CITY INSIDE, which I read earlier this year, or THE END OF SUMMER. She's incredibly talented, but her stories either feel too short or way too long (ON A SUNBEAM) for me

It‘s hard to rate as this is a collection of Tillie Walden‘s works but overall I really enjoyed this. I‘m a big fan of „On A Sunbeam� and it was cool to see her style through various points of time/her career. There are three bigger stories in this collections and a bunch of smaller comic strips. I‘ll just give some thoughts on the bigger stories:
- The End of Summer, 2 stars. I have to admit that I did not get this story one bit. I have zero clue what exactly happened or what she tried to tell with this story. The drawing style was nice but the lack of colour made it really hard to distinguish between the different characters which added a lot to the confusion.
- I Love This Part, 4 stars. Really sad but real story. I loved the drawing style and touch of colour. Probably one of my favorites in this collection.
- A City Inside, 3.5 stars. Extremely interesting concept, great drawing style. Here I didn’t mind the lack of colour. I loved the fishes!

This was a fun collection! Anyone that's a fan of Tillie Walden is going to enjoy this collection. It was nice to see how Waldens art and story telling progressed through the years.
Of the stories in the book my favorites were the first two (I cried lol).
TW: terminal illness, suicide, confinement, homophobia, animal death.

I received this one from the publisher in exchange of an honest review.
Multiple short stories are bundled in this pretty graphic novel by Tillie Walden. I was delighted I got the chance to read these as I have been trying to read more of TW.
The first story in this book was three parts about terminal disease, endless winter, cabin fever, paranoia, and tons of wtf is going on. At times I just didn’t have a clue what was happening which got worse as the story continued. The last part was just one big UM wait? Sexual abuse (at least I am guessing given things)? Murder of an animal in a gruesome way? The ending, I am still not sure what happened. But in overall, it was an interesting story with that long lasting winter and a house with tons of rooms, secret areas, and more. I am curious what kind of world has such long winters, and I wonder if the summers are also long.
The next story is about romance, about first love, about coming out, and breaking up. I loved how it was just one big page showing a scene in the lives of these girls. See them hang out, listen to music, cuddle up, see how they got together� but also ultimately break apart and see the heartache. This one was supersad and bittersweet. Really loved it. Loved that the colours throughout were black/white/purple, lots of purple.
Then next is a story about a girl? About a city? About love and leaving. I am still unsure what I was reading, haha, guess I am just not the audience for this one. It was beautiful but I just had no clue what was real and what just a memory. And then the ending just had me wondering if it was all a dream? Sorry if I am supposed to see something in this, but I just couldn’t. Maybe I will read again when my mind is clearer and less cluttered and chaotic.
Next up is a collection of comics. About all the things. Autobiographical and not. About home, school, family, and death (that one scene at the end of one of these comics shocked me). Including bits from the first story in which we see how Nemo and Lars met and got close. I was delighted to see some other season in this comic as well. Finally summer/spring! I loved the various art styles in this section.
And lastly we have Q&A with Tillie Walden and I was delighted that this one was added! I learned quite a few new things about this artist. I loved that this Q&A was also done in comic form.
All in all, I am happy I tried this bundle and got a chance to read it. The stories were a bit hit/miss, sometimes strange and what am I reading, other times heartbreaking and (bitter)sweet.

I loved getting to see early works from Tillie and how her craft has grown from her early days to now, in both her artistry and her storytelling.
I think what keeps pulling me back is the surrealist take present in so much of her work, using it as a rich visual backdrop for the very grounded stories she tells. There is so much here and I cherish it always

This was beautiful, but very depressing. I'll give it 4 stars for gorgeous artwork, poignancy, stunning imaginary architecture, and wistful teenage angst, but I never want to read it again because it has bummed me out so bad.
Occasionally could do with greater clarity on plot details.
Content warning for animal death. (Why, Tillie, whyyyyyyyyy ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜)

Alone in Space is a collection of Tillie Walden's early works, but you could just as easily say that these are her lesser works. There's a lot of lovely flim-flam here, meandering short stories that seem more focused on atmosphere than plot. I Love This Part and A City Inside in particular are pretty and poetic and forgettable.
The collection kicks off with The End of Summer, which definitely captured my attention with its panoramic palace interiors, giant cat, and strange dreamscape plot. But the dreamscape never coalesced into anything sensical, leaving me only with the intriguing art. Walden's shortest, earliest works were actually some of the most enjoyable: a single-page take on a Nemo-style dream, a tiny memoir of being gay in an all-girls middle school, a pamphlet encouraging others to attend the Center for Cartoon Studies. I appreciated the introductions to these short pieces as well - the three longer pieces could have used similar introductions.
Walden's meticulous art is the main draw here for me. Others might find her focus on unrequited love and dreaminess more appealing. In general, I'd recommend jumping to On a Sunbeam.

Tillie Walden is my must-buy author. Anytime she releases a book, I must run out and buy it - it is the law. When I saw this beautiful collection announced, I was a bit torn - I had, of course, hoped for a new self-contained story, but was also excited to finally complete my collection, as I don't own physical copies of The End of Summer or A City Inside.
The collection itself is beautifully made and each story holds its own while also not falling out of line - seeing as how some of Tillie's earliest work is included, this is most definitely a testament to her talent. While I still consider diving head first into Spinning or On A Sunbeam to be the optimal way to get started on your Tillie Walden reading journey, there is definitely no harm in reading her shorter works without any experience with her longer ones.
I have started seeing many young artists on social media platforms such as TikTok masterfully emulating her art style, which only cements what I have been saying since I first read Spinning and got to go to a reading event for the book: Tillie Walden will be one of the most influential visual storytellers our generation has to offer, though, to be fair, I think she already is.

I really love Tillie Walden’s work! This book is comprised of three short stories and then a collection of even shorter—often one page—pieces Walden created between the ages of 16 and 20. I loved getting a peak into Walden’s creative process and how she has grown as an artist.
My ranking of the short stories:
1. I love this part
Tender moments between two girls as they fall in love and deal with what that means. We see the dissolution of this blossoming romance when one of the girls isn’t ready to come out.
I love how Walden uses proportions in this one! When the characters are falling in love, they are drawn as giants, larger than the world around them. When experiencing heartbreak and longing though, they’re made small.
2. The end of summer
A dark story about the slow decline of a royal family. When they shut themselves inside for a three year winter, tensions and awful secrets rise to the surface.
3. A city inside
Interesting but too short and I wanted more!

Collezione di racconti illustrati.
Una lettura preziosa per giovani illustratori capaci di cogliere suggerimenti anche se il libro non è costruito per questo. Deliziosa la carrellata di tavole dei primi anni dell’autrice in cui si apprezza l’evoluzione stilistica. I contenuti delle storie sono altalenanti per la natura eterogenea della raccolta.

Tillie Walden has an uncanny talent for breaking my heart in a handful of panels

I loved the End of Summer, I’m going to think about it for a long time. I need to re read it to grasp it, but it was one of the most gripping comics I’ve ever read.
