The Underwater Welder, by Jeff Lemire

The Underwater Welder, by Jeff Lemire, 224 pages

Jack Joseph is an underwater welder. One day on the job, he has an out of time experience, and continues to keep "losing time."  Trying to discover the mystery of his father's disappearance and running away from the pressures of his own impending fatherhood, Jack must reconcile his past with his future.  I thought this was a good reflection on how our memories of events and people are not always how they really were, and how we have to forgive ourselves in order to move on in life.
