William Softkey and the Purple Spider | Christopher (C F ) Forgues

Descriere William Softkey and the Purple Spider | Christopher (C F ) Forgues

Buried deep under sand sits a library the size of a small city, owned by the eerily powerful Mr. Wish and protected by roving bands of toughs and lethal sentient vehicles. When a small but heavy inter-dimensional spider demands access to the vault, poor William Softkey, with assistance from the gravity-experimenter Gigglewindow sisters, is hired to deal with the problem.

Rendered in the artist’s trademark stark linework―against a backdrop of paranoid techno-fantasy, strange emblematic beings, and woozy halftone patterns―William Softkey and the Purple Spider is acclaimed cartoonist CF’s second dreamy narrative published under the Anthology Editions banner.
