Top Shelf Productions: The Well Book Trailer

Shelf Productions, here's a sneak peek at THE WELL . . . . .

The Well arrives this week! 

 

If you are a fan of Severance (and furries) your outie will love Jon Allen’s cult-favorite online comic, The Well, now a must-read graphic novel! 

 

With confident cartooning and expert pacing, writer/artist Jon Allen makes his Top Shelf debut as a must-read storyteller whose anthropomorphic animals feel exquisitely human.

 

The Well combines deadpan dialogue with thrilling plot twists, and its skepticism about techno-utopian promises is matched by its affection for relatable characters. Fans of offbeat slice-of-life stories with a hidden dark side (Bojack Horseman, Severance, The Menu, Get Out) will plunge into these pages and resurface, gasping, at the story’s end

 

Allen's softly rounded characters, a variety of simply drawn animal-like humans, stand in compelling contrast to the sf plot." 

 

"The Well explores the intersection of nefarious science and midtwenties apathy in a character-heavy mystery full of twists and turns."

The Well Jon Allen April 8 2025 Cute characters, quarter-life crises, chemical supplements, and corporate catastrophes… Jon Allen’s cult-favorite online comic is now a must-read graphic novel! Veronika is 24 and tired: of her crummy boyfriend, of living with her parents, of feeling stalled out while everyone else moved on. With a new job coding software for a “wellness” company that makes brain-boosting energy drinks, she finally has a chance to turn things around. At this rate, Veronika may never feel tired again!
