Hypericon by Manuele Fior
3.0
‘Hypericon’ with story and art by Manuele Fior is a graphic novel that takes place in two distinct times and is distinctly linked.
It’s 2001 and Teresa has just arrived in Berlin with insomnia and a new job getting an art exhibit ready. There are also flashbacks to Howard Carter’s 1922 discovery of King Tut’s tomb that Teresa is reading about. Teresa meets Ruben, but he may not offer her the stability she needs as her insomnia frays her fragile mind.
I liked it well enough, but I’m not sure I cared all that much when it was all said and done. The art works well, especially for the Egypt portions of the book.
