Jeff Lemire ‘s ‘Fishflies’ To Be Collected By Image Comics

by Olly MacNamee

Fishflies series by New York Times bestselling, multiple award-winning creator Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Gideon Falls, Descender) will be collected in hardback form by Image Comics. The seven-issue series collection will be out in March 2025.

“A small-town crime sets off a chain of events that will permanently alter the lives of several residents of bucolic Belle River, Ontario. As the manhunt heats up, a lonely girl named Franny Fox forms an unlikely friendship with a fugitive that leads them both on an odyssey of discovery and redemption… a journey that also uncovers dark secrets from the town’s eery past.”

Speaking of this highly personal series Lemire stated:

“Fishflies was a true labour of love. In many ways it was a return to the terrain of Essex County, but with a supernatural twist. It’s the story of a small town crime, a lonely girl and a monster, but it’s a lot more than that to me. Fishflies got me through some really hard times and Franny and Bug became my anchors and companions. The story took me places I never anticipated, and I’m really happy to be collecting it all into one complete graphic novel edition.”
