In the hands of another, this could have simply been exploitative, gratuitous, shock-value, but in the hands of Lutzke? The Pale White perfectly operates as an intense yet delicately rendered understanding of heartbreaking trauma, while juggling three beautifully rounded main characters, all in under less than 100 pages of completely gripping storytelling.
