Description

Author and illustrator Aaron Lange (AIN’T IT FUN: PETER LAUGHNER AND PROTO-PUNK IN THE SECRET CITY) plumbs the depths of the subconscious with PEPPERMINT WEREWOLF: MURKSTAVE, and in the process catalogues myriad perversions from antiquity to the internet age and beyond. Relentlessly obsessive and radically experimental, this avant-garde work of comic art includes an erotic visual inventory of the Germanic runes; the secret language of fetishism; and sacred geometry as it relates to the mysteries of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s nose.

A maelstrom of semiotics, PEPPERMINT WEREWOLF: MURKSTAVE has all this and more. For fans of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, neo-decadence, pin-up art, black metal, occultism, industrial culture, and Norse mythology. There's literally nothing in these pages that is anything less than fully formed, deliberate, and razor-sharp— Daniel Clowes may have titled one of his better works LIKE A VELVET GLOVE CAST IN IRON, but Lange LIVES those words, carving imagery onto the page with the precision of a scalpel and the grace of a quill. There's an undercurrent of danger, desperation, and depravity to these proceedings even at their most breathtaking and sublime that makes you feel as if no less than William Blake or Austin Osman Spare would approve of what was happening if they were around to witness it. PEPPERMINT WEREWOLF is a key that unlocks a door, and what that door opens onto and into will no doubt be unique to each reader. -Ryan C's Four-Color Apocalypse
