A Garden of the Spheres by Linnea Sterte
Long in the works (since at least 2021), A Garden of the Spheres is an epic – and stunningly beautiful – work of comics fantasy, of the world-building, science-fictional variety. The world Sterte has built for us here is a world of gods and monsters, one that evokes our pre-industrial past, when humans lived more in harmony with nature, while simultaneously embodying a magical and mythical halcyon age where occurrences and abilities that we, today, would call supernatural are simply presented as de facto, and so constitutes an alternate, fantastical history, a kind of “never was”.
This volume is her most substantial work to date, running 336 pages, craft printed on a choice of papers perfectly suited for the work, which allow the colors to recede or advance, to simmer or pop, so as to best convey the moment and mood, all signature bound in a softcover with French-flapped dustjacket; and it's only "Book One".
