Last Year Comic Chronicle

By

Francis Bass

During my final year of college, in an effort to document this period of my life, I created the Last Year Comic Chronicle, a weekly autobiographical comic. The comic spans the length of my senior year at the University of Iowa, offering glimpses into all aspects of my life—writing, working, acting, dealing with feelings, and ultimately leaving the life I’d grown accustomed to for the past four years.

This book collects all of those comics, as well as “Last Summer,” a shorter series of previously unpublished comics made over the summer following my graduation. The book also includes older proof-of-concept autobio comics, and a step-by-step description of my process for creating L.Y.C.C.
