The Ardent

Carl Antonowicz

Fieldmouse Press

In a medieval fantasy setting called the Roodlands, a young monk is tasked by the head of his order to move the jewel-encrusted skeleton of one of their martyrs to safety. His faith is tested in a journey where the concepts of honor, family, and piety are laid bare. This bleak but hilarious subversion of standard fantasy quest comics will draw comparisons to Kurt Vonnegut and Julia Gfrörer.
