Reviews

[Brian O'Connell · Rating 5 out of 5]

A tragedy worthy of Euripedes, "Palm Ash" follows the trials of a Catholic prisoner in ancient Rome. To say any more would utterly spoil the power of the story. Gfröer's art is gorgeous as always. Highly recommended.

Collected in Best American Comics 2015. Brilliant short story about a Christian martyr the lions refuse to eat.
