Picnoleptic Inertia

by Stathis Tsemberlidis (Contributor)

Bringing together the very best of his short works produced over the last five years for Decadence Comics, the influential publishing collective he co-founded with the artist Lando.

Combining Cronenbergian metamorphosis, Lovecraftian fungi and radical politics, Tsemberlidis's silent world is one of transformative mysticism and violent revolution. His frenetic, staccato pen line beautifully describes a destructive present unfolding amid the ruins of the past.

Reviews

[Kon]

Absolutely. Anti-narrative, impenetrable, without an ounce of exposition or text. A miracle for comics that show that images can tell a captivating story on their own. Scifi at its most goopy, its weirdest, and its best. Tsemberlidis is a madman.

[Ed Dinnermonkey]

3,5

Se me hace difícil calificar este cómic con una propuesta gráfica arriesgada (esos dibujos que parecen deshacerse) con una historia sin textos que tiene su toque surrealista y post apocalíptico. Interesante.

3.5/3.75 maybe. This was pretty weird and wild. I didn't always know what I was looking at.

Bueno pa un viaje de ácido y ya

[Luis]

Surreal y antinarrativo, aderezado con unas ilustraciones aún más raras si caben.
Como un trip en blanco y negro.
