Author: Steven Archer

A Cosmic Tale of Love and Destruction

This Kaiju-inspired illustrated work tells the epic story of the World Wolf, his limitless love for his mate and the boundless destruction that is caused when something comes between them. A primordial entity, the World Wolf is feared. Misunderstood. Underestimated. And now humanity has pissed him off. The scope of the doom unleashed is too much to comprehend.

Through this fine-art graphic novel Archer takes the next step in the evolution of visual dark fantasy storytelling. As experimental as it is confrontational Red in Tooth and Claw documents a wolf spirit’s journey from creative force to avatar of destruction. Or, as Peter Watts writes in the forward, “It is jagged and it is lyrical, it is beautiful and it is grotesque. It is horrifc and cuddly. There are Larsonesque scribbles, and oils so deep you get lost in the hues….There is first person omniscience, an immortal being watching evolution unfold in real time. There is poetry. This is entropy and singularity and Big Bang rendered as myth, as supernatural entities.”

Writer and artist Steven Archer, renowned for his illustrated adaption of Masque of the Red Death (Bram Stoker Award Finalist 2020), Luna Maris, and Red King, Black Rook, brings his unique combination of industrial music aesthetic and classical painting to the realm of sequential art in this visual rampage of a book.
