Ileana Surducan’s The Lost Sunday is a fairy tale that explores burnout and has been nominated for Eisner for all ages. After all, it doesn’t matter how old you are, everyone is susceptible to burnout. Children’s burnout is a “higher concern” and “talented children” are especially at risk. Therefore, it is important to educate children and their families about the signs and symptoms of burnout. And there is nothing more familiar to me than exploring this through fairy tales told through cartoon media, a medium in which research has been particularly successful in helping people understand complex topics.
Beat reveals that Oni Press has won Lost Sunday as part of its 2025 lineup, along with an exclusive preview of the graphic novel. This Eisner Award-nominated story beautifully demonstrates the importance of carving out the free time in a fast-paced life, and Oni brings it to an English-speaking audience for the first time.
When he announced the book’s English adaptation in October 2024, Sadhukan said, “I hope that children will be delighted in this colorful journey filled with whimsical creatures, strange trials, and lessons about kindness to all.” The delicate balance of work and relaxation. ”
Taking inspiration from timeless folktales and enchanting fairy tales, Lost Sunday casts spells into modern issues. The impact of burnout and the important role of leisure in our lives. The official logline is as follows:
