Elephantmen Volume 1: Wounded Animals
by Richard Starkings, José Ladrönn, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Moritat
I picked this up after hearing good things on a few blogs I read and I have to say I wasn't disappointed. Billed as 'pulp science fiction' it's set in the world of Hip Flask and Mystery City dealing with the Elephant Men. Dark and surprisingly touching the first volume is light on story but does serve as an introduction to the world. I particularly liked the final story of Captain Stoneheart and the Truth Fairy.
All that aside the artwork is stunning and beautifully rendered. The world is alive and detailed and vast and the characters (particularly Ebony) are vividly expressive. I'm very keen to pick the next volume up following this.
