    Erzsebet #1-new fantasy comic on sale now!

    Erzsebet tells the story of Erzsebet and Chaiya, two ditzy demon chicks exiled from the underground kingdom of Shoal who enjoy chasing boys, smoking eyeballs and trying to take over the world. While trying to perform their doomsday ritual however, they get the spell badly wrong and accidentally help to usher in the beginning of a new Messianic age of utopia. Naturally our heroines have no choice but to stop it.


    Erzsebet is fun, fast-paced and character driven. The art, by cartoonist Daniel de Sosa, is a bizarre and trippy experimental mix of psychedelic watercolours and mixed media, and unlike anything else in comics today.

    Available digitally on Graphicly, soon to be available on the ibookstore and kindle fire.

    REVIEW: de Sosa experiments rather elegantly by using water colours instead of the usual inking process; you can see his self-admitted influence on Shonen Manga and Edvard Munch. This psychedelic show displays a story like I have never seen before. It does not derive from the American comic, it actually presents a rather opposite creation, closer to the Japanese style it portrays a mishmash of elements that form an incredible spectacle of light colours.

    Although it may present a challenge for the regular comic reader it is undoubtedly an original and inspiring work of art. And that is what makes Erzsebet so special, it is not your typical store comic book, it is a comic book trying to be art, more than to be a comic. The elements of a graphic novel are all there, obviously, however what makes this one shine is the way it pictures its fantastic world, through its shape more than through its story, making it work fantastically.
    thanks!
