In a land blighted by conflict, where the soil gives little and the seas less, a struggling, small village fisherman chances upon a sealed box. When his hopes of recovering something rare, shiny and worth more than two pickled grotlice at market are shattered with a life and death game of wits against an otherworldly three-eyed monstrosity, he figures this maybe just isn’t his lucky day.
A spurned King, his bloodthirsty Queen and her undead lover, our hero will face despots and dungeons, enchanted palaces, secret kingdoms and eldritch creatures of chaos when all he really wants, is to bring home a decent catch for supper!
Echoing the sumptuous golden age illustrations of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, with a twist of contemporary psychedelic horror, The Palace of Tears is the latest creation of Michael Lomon, creator of the Blind Detective Blake comic and winner of the inaugural 2023 UK Caliburn Prize, recognising new and unpublished comic creators. Ten years in the making and traditionally pencilled and inked, this is an ambitious and uncompromising visual work. ‘The Palace of Tears’ has finally opened its doors.....
