Beschreibung

In this completely absurdist satire of overly-elaborate high fantasy, New York Times bestselling writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Die, The Power Fantasy), popular game designer Jim Rossignol (Sir, You Are Being Haunted), artist Jeff Stokely (The Spire, Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Witches), colorist Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future), and letterer Clayton Cowles (Bitter Root, Moonstruck) take readers on a wildly unhinged ride through an epically whimsical kingdom where everything is topsy-turvy and the characters are completely insane.

Main nut job Baron Otto Von Subertan embodies an excess and impulsiveness that would make the Queen of Hearts look tame by comparison. His close companion, Professor Hades Zero-K provides a deadpan counter to his flamboyant assertions. Together they defend their wacky and bizarre civilization against banality and boredom. To be “ludicrous” is not only just a requirement in this gonzo world—it’s a virtue!

Monty Python and I Hate Fairyland humor are tossed in a blender with such exhaustively intricate sagas as Dune and The Silmarillion for a surprising cocktail of aristocratic customs, impossible architecture, sexual jokes, and visual gags to delight any reader willing to ride shotgun for the journey.

Collects The Ludocrats #1-5.

Über den Autor

Kieron Gillen first came to attention as a comic writer with his 2006's Phonogram, with Jamie McKelvie. They continued to work together across the next fifteen year, culminating with smash hit The Wicked + the Divine. Since then he's had the pleasure of creating stories with other artists such as Stephanie Hans (DIE, We Called Them Giants) and Caspar Wijngaard (the current sensation, The Power Fantasy). He has worked on Marvel Comics biggest books, such as Immortal X-men, Young Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Star Wars, Eternals and Darth Vader, (where he co-created Doctor Aphra). In a previous life he was an award-winning pop-culture critic. In his current life, he tries to sleep more. He lives in Bath, UK.
