Drome

Moebius meets the Epic of Gilgamesh in this visually mind-blowing adult graphic novel about war, love, and death in a fledgling world.

First, there was nothing. Then, humanity was born, and an endless cycle of violence began. From the depths of the ocean, a mighty demigoddess is called forth to reign in their destructive impulses and teach a language of peace and harmony. Civilization takes root, a great city rising from the desert. But the balance between chaos and order is a fragile one, and there are higher powers at work in this strange new world.

Through intricate linework, kaleidoscopic colors, and a groundbreaking approach to the comics medium, author Jesse Lonergan explores how love, envy, and grief have shaped us and our societies since the beginning of time. Equal parts epic and contemplative, Drome is a creation myth for the modern age.
