EPHK - MAWRTH VALLIIS

Really enjoyed this book, entirely in an alien language! The plot:

“During a skirmish with an opposing Martian faction, a fighter pilot disobeys orders to pursue a fleeing foe. Guided by her determination and curiosity, she is led into a dangerous chase through Mars’s forbidden valley where she will be confronted with the red planet’s darkest of secrets.”

By "elusive artist Electric Pick" who is primarily known as a tattoo artist, he wrote on the original Kickstarter page:

“I’m not gonna lie… It’s a bit trippy. This project is… let’s call it “conceptual” and born from many very different influences hitting me at a very specific time. It is very different from what I usually do but it was so much fun to make and I am so damn proud of how it came out.

It all came together when my new found love for the format of 70’s Mexican Historietas (smaller size/few panels per page) merged with my desire to make a very classic 70s style sci-fi short story. It contains a lot of the things that I always want to do in comics but that never really fit with other stories I am working on.

I also, for the first time, decided to render everything digitally (in my own very analogue way). I usually hand paint my pages and this was a big change for me (I really thought it would be faster… I was very wrong). And what was initially supposed to be a month long, 32 page short project eventually mutated into a 5 month, 128 page brick. And the result is 100% awesome guaranteed!”
