A father and son's road trip to find train station relics becomes a catalyst for exploring memory, identity, and the nature of time. The narrative weaves together disparate threads—a professor's unique grading system, a pen-pal relationship that turns perilous, and the search for historical artifacts—through a lens of reverie and nostalgic abstraction. Hankiewicz employs a fluid, experimental structure where chronology and permanence are constantly in flux, mirroring the subjective nature of memory and consciousness. The graphic novel format is essential to this exploration, allowing surreal illusions to intermingle with lucid moments, all rendered with a clean, confident line.

The graphic novel Education is characterized by its experimental approach to narrative and its unique visual style. Critics have noted its ability to capture subjective experiences of time and memory through its fragmented structure and dreamlike sequences. The work is praised for its sophisticated use of the comics medium to explore complex themes, often drawing comparisons to Richard McGuire's 'Here' for its temporal explorations. Hankiewicz's confident linework and poetic sensibility are frequently highlighted as key strengths, making it a rewarding, albeit unconventional, read.
