Sand & Fury: A Scream Queen Adventure

An expanded version of the classic horror graphic novel from the creator of King.Sand and Fury: A Scream Queen Adventure is a story of blood, of sex, of death―of sound and retribution. It opens as a girl by the side of a desert road accepts a ride from a stranger. How could she know that behind that wheel sits the angel of death? Of course, even the angel of death once had a life. During that life, death was a successful business woman, with a great career and an even greater future. It’s true she could be a little cavalier with her innate gifts; she had, after all, broken the heart of everyone who had ever loved her. And then, one day―the monster entered the woman’s life and changed everything forever. Inspired by the work of filmmakers like David Lynch and Dario Argento and cartoonists like Richard Sala and Charles Burns, a spiritual cousin to Roman Polanski’s Repulsion and The Tenant, Sand and Fury is at once an homage to those classic horror sources and a contemporary romantic thriller, drawn in a stark, chiseled, expressionistic line that evokes an modern attitudes and classic terror at the unknown and unknowable. 144 color illustrations

The Guardian

"Anderson’s blocky figures and Expressionistic use of caricature are augmented by processed period photography, an approach that calls to mind the minimalist abstractions of Frank Miller. The characters are frequently depicted in high-contrast shadow, wherein features become flattened and skin colour is often difficult to determine. The resulting aesthetic is striking and symbolic."

Tucker Stone, The Factual Opinion

"[A] dark, violent horror story that provides a contemporary update on a folklore standard. ... a good comic."

Jorge Solis, Fangoria

"Ho Che Anderson has written and drawn a puzzling, dark tale about a mysterious woman with alluring secrets.... a complex tale that uniquely blends eroticism and horror."
