6/29/2023 0 Comments Isola, Vol. 1 by Brenden FletcherUnder the tarpaulin sleeps the adult tiger, but its rump and tail stick out the back, so the loyal soldier shelters its hind with her shawl.Ī ssssss-ssssssound from one side attracts her attention, luring the Captain from her vigil. Her lance-like spear is struck, up-ended and so ready in the ground. The soldier sits guard outside the tarpaulin tent in a Moebius hat, fur-trimmed cloak, leather boots and leggings. This first issue opens on a night of natural indigo, high up on a mountain range commanding spectacular views which are obliterated by sheets of driving rain. The cat and the captain have a long way to travel, without any guarantee that they'll ever get there. It is also said that the souls of the dead reside there. The fabled island of Isola lies far, far away and, they say, is surrounded by vast stretches of water. Stealthily they prowl across wetlands, through meadow valleys lush with summer-green trees, and over buzzing forest floors which prickle with humidity during daylight, then fall to dark, dank and dangerous at night. The cat and the captain have a long way to travel.
