The fifth issue of Youth in Decline’s artist showcase series, Frontier delivers up the latest release from the nimble hand and sharp eye of comics wunderkind, Sam Alden.  An “outtake” from his ongoing work (and presumed future graphic novel release), Hollow, the 32 pages of comics on hand here employ a two-color palette to great effect.  Set upon the backdrop of two sisters’ beach outing, the story deftly weaves an elegant pattern of memories and the emotional states they engender that will surely imprint itself on readers’ minds and linger there long enough to inspire re-readings designed to pick up on the nuances missed the first time around.  Recommended.
