Description
Writer Lovern Kindzierski and artist John Bolton return to the world of Shame. This new story picks up where Shame left off, and makes a perfect jumping on point for new readers.
Shame is dead, her demon father blasted back to hell. Hope, newly born into the body of a young woman, stumbles from the battle-scarred castle still filled with Shame's malevolent servants. The evil queen may have been defeated, but her dark forces are determined to stamp out Hope's return to the world. This one shot story continues the acclaimed Shame series, following the ultimate story of mother-daughter conflict.
Contributor Notes
Lovern Kindzierski is a successful writer, colorist and illustrator based in Winnipeg, Canada. He has been nominated as best colorist for the Eisner Awards, Harvey Awards, and Schuster Awards. As a writer, he has worked on titles including Spiderman, Wolverine, and The Victorian. His writing on Tarzan garnered him a Harvey Award Best Writer nomination.Based in London, England, and described by director Robert Rodriguez as a "God" for his art for Peter Straub's The Green Woman, John Bolton was seven when he first encountered a paint brush. It was love at first sight, offering him an output to visualize and create what he saw in his mind and put it to paper. Thus began a life- long ambition of creativity all connected by one underlying theme - the interesting and bizarre.
Editorial Review
"...a surreal fantasy that utilises the pages of a comic to transport you into a different world where you will be at a constant state of unease and wonder." (Fox Force Five)
"Beautifully rendered by an absolute master in his field, John Bolton's art is brilliant. So much detail and expertly applied colouring produce a frameable work of fine art in nearly every panel. Lovern Kindzierski's prose is equally as exceptional and deep." (First Comics News)
"This book is a pure joy to behold. Every page crackles with a sumptuous, organic energy. Highly recommended." (Paul Pope, Eisner award winning artist and writer.)
"Sensuous art and luscious coloring. A visually unique book." (P. Craig Russell, Eisner award winning writer and artist.)
"Beautiful and haunting, Shame looks and feels like a dream." (Fangoria Magazine)
"Bolton's fully-painted art makes it feel like a comic book that escaped from the Renaissance, and the tragic narrative will keep you hooked." (Mike Donachie, Toronto Star)
