Marrow & Other Stories

by Sloane Hong

Marrow & Other Stories brings together a collection of short comics by Sloane Hong into print for the first time. Although varied in content, each story explores how we relate to each other and the world around us—through grief, love and our innate curiosity of the unknown.

Plagued with intrigue and often unsettling, these gloriously stylish panels peel back layers of the human psyche, exposing them, throbbing and pulsating, for all to see.

“This collection of short comics—I have fallen deeply and profoundly in love with it. […] It speaks so profoundly and maturely and beautifully about love and grief and loss. I think the relationship between the images and the pictures just amplifies that sort of profoundness.”

— Pip Adam for RNZ

Sloane Hong (she/her) is a Korean tauiwi illustrator, comic artist and tattooer rumoured to lurk somewhere deep within the agonising, suburban sprawl of Aotearoa. The LGBTQIA+ journal, bad apple, claims that she was a founding member of their publication and helped develop their creative direction. Meanwhile, further evidence of her existence has also previously been uncovered in The Spinoff, The New York Times, Death in the Mouth: Original Horror from the Margins and Spoiled Fruit: Queer Poetry from Aotearoa.
