Consider Building Stories by Chris Ware.
“Building Stories is a slow, close-up reading experience that pieces together the lives of residents in a three‑story Chicago building through fragmented, image-led episodes. What works best is its attention to domestic detail and the way single panels or short sequences accumulate mood and history; the main limitation is that the narrative resists chronology and conventional payoff, so readers expecting a linear plot or fast narrative momentum will find long stretches that feel elliptical or repetitive.”
