One big reason for the slowdown in Hart's comics output is his work as an educator. He shows them the same kind of empathy, understanding, and room to express themselves that he shows his fictional characters. Rosalie Lightning is a masterpiece-and a luminous tribute to a brief, beautiful life. In writing Rosalie Lightning, Hart turns himself and Leela into Tom Hart characters. Hart delves into details other creators might have excised-Rosalie’s favorite phrases, the odd thoughts one fixates on in the midst of catastrophe-and it is this candor that will likely leave many readers in tears. What catapults this graphic novel into greatness, however, is its honesty.

The result captures young Rosalie’s wonder and beauty, and the hole she left behind.

Visually, Hart employs a choppily inked mixture of styles that recall the childlike simplicity of Peanuts as readily as midcentury horror work. The darkest depths are plumbed, from the overwhelming powerlessness of the experience to the absurdity of life going on in spite of it. Chronicling his memories of the life and death of his daughter, the eponymous Rosalie (who died at age two), Hart refuses to fall into the easy clichés of loss.

Hart ( Hutch Owen) pulls poetry from pain in this tremendous book.
