Owen Michael Johnson &
John Pearson invite you to board the Beast Wagon at Thought Bubble
Preview of
anthropomorphic comic book set in a Safari park includes 6-page
preview and fold-out map.
The
co-creator of cult hit Raygun
Roads and the
critically acclaimed coming-of-age tale Reel
Love has
described Beast Wagon - scheduled for
release in 2015 - as 'One
Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest with talking animals...' and promises 'an
examination of systems and control. This preview is an intense little
introduction to the book we're making. John is an honest artist. We're pushing
each other, creatively, into dark waters.'
Pearson,
an illustrator heralding from Leeds and one of the contributors
to the CULT exhibition at
Orbital Comics in April, said 'Beast Wagon will be a debauched tale of
insanity. Owen has pulled out the stops to explore madness and frustration
across many complex layers. I've been scooping out my mind to put together a
collection of images that feeds into the vision of hell we've had. Madagascar
this is not.'
Released
under Johnson's Changeling Studios imprint, the preview will be lettered
by Colin Bell (Dungeon Fun) and available
at Thought Bubble Sequential Arts Festival, which is held in Leeds this
November.
Multiversity Comics broke the story. More on BEAST WAGON soon.
