Swedish artist Niklas Asker's debut graphic novel, Second Thoughts, is the story of two strangers whose chance meeting in a London airport will have unexpected consequences in their own troubled lives. John is a photographer running away. Jess is a novelist without a novel. What happens when you're given the time and opportunity to think about the mistakes you've made?

Vulture's Comics Page is proud to present an exclusive nine-page excerpt from Second Thoughts, a graphic novel from Niklas Asker, out this week from Top Shelf.
