FIELDER #4 (MR)

Fielder #4 continues Kevin Huizenga’s acclaimed, genre-bending meditation on small-town life and storytelling itself. Written and drawn by Huizenga, the issue moves forward with dense but approachable midwestern weather and fastpitch softball duels. A new chapter of Huizenga’s long-running adaptation of the old Dell comics series—renamed 'BONA'—unfolds, following Glenn Ganges as he shifts through genre-bending roles to meet his goals. Set in the mid-sized Michiana town of Fielder on a Saturday afternoon, the narrative blends poetry, cartooning, and graphic design to capture a moment in time where pitching, defense, and quiet observation collide. This installment deepens the ongoing 'Fielder, Michiana' arc, continuing Huizenga’s reputation for precise linework, lucid storytelling, and provocative quiet humor. A mature, thoughtful entry in a quietly ambitious series that rewards patient readers with insight and craft.
