After dreaming about a mysterious being, an ordinary guy starts to lose connection with his world—literally. As daily life slips away from him, he struggles to understand what’s happening to him and what he can do about it.




Phased is a supernatural fiction graphic short story about disconnection.
Comics critic Rob Clough describes the story as unexpected and deeply meditative with fluid and imaginative artwork, so pick it up for a fresh experience!
“COVID-related comics are a dime a dozen, but William Chen went in some weird directions with the topic in his visually striking comic Phased.”
