Alex Chen returns in this graphic novel sequel to the award-winning videogame Life is Strange: True Colors, written by Zoe Thorogood (It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth) - winner of the Russ Manning Newcomer Award at the 2023 Eisner Awards!

It’s been a year since Alex and Steph Gingrich left Haven Springs, Colorado, at the end of Life is Strange: True Colors. Though Alex might have found control over her psychic powers, she struggles with knowing when to use her powers and when to let those around her battle their own demons, if they’ll be strong enough to do so.

Touring across the states in their band Manic Pixie Nightmare Girls, and preparing to meet with an interested record label, Alex and Steph find another lost soul on the side of the road – Lily.

A mysterious girl in the middle of nowhere, Alex and Steph take the teenager under their wing to uncover the truth of what she’s running from. But there’s more to Lily than meets the eye – who silently struggles under the weight of heartache and memories from lives she hasn’t lived, to protect those around her from the truth of pain. An all too familiar story to Alex, but is there time to save the Lily from a similar, lonely, fate?

A graphic novel about found family, confronting demons, generational trauma, and living, loving, & losing the best you can.

Life is Strange: Forget-Me-Not collects issues 1-4 of the comic series of the same name, written by Zoe Thorogood (It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott) and drawn by fan-favorite Life is Strange artists, Claudia Leonardi and Andrea Izzo. Featuring bonus behind-the-scenes content about the development of the series.
Zoe Thorogood, Winner of the Russ Manning Award for Newcomer in 2023, is a comics creator and concept artist based in the midlands of the UK. Her previous credits include her debut graphic novel, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott, as well as Joe Hill’s Rain – which saw her nominated for two Eisner awards. Her sophomore graphic novel, It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth, was also nominated for three Eisners, making her the most-nominated candidate in 2023.

Claudia Leonardi lives in Italy. She dreamed of becoming a comic artist since she was a child. Circa 2012, she and Andrea met at the local comic school and joined forces to make their shared dream a reality. After working for Italian comic publishers on titles such as Bren Gattonero and Zeroi, plus indie productions as penciller and inker, she is now making her international debut with Life is Strange.
