Ablaze Artist Spotlight Collected Set: Werther Dell‘Edera Available August 20

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #AblazeArtistSpotlight – #FrancescoArtibani – #TizlanoSclavi – @AblazePub –

Author: Francesco Artibani & Tizlano Sclavi

From the artist and co-creator of Something is Killing the Children!

ABLAZE presents two graphic novels featuring Eisner and Ringo Award-winning artist Werther Dell’Edra, collected together for the first time as a special price.

In He Who Fights with Monsters, it’s World War 2 and the struggle between good and evil is in full force. In Prague, the great Bohemian city is being oppressed by the Nazi occupation and the population lives in terror, while the resistance forces try to organize themselves in the shadows. It is an almost impossible task. With the ruthless SS tightening their grip on every street and neighborhood with overwhelming might, only one hope feeds the struggle. A crazy hope, which rests on the fragile foundations of an ancient, monstrous legend…

In The Voices of Water, under a persistent rain, which seems destined to never subside, Stavros lives and moves through the streets of a dark and gloomy nameless city. He has a job and a fiancée; his life is normal. Yet several, different voices talk to him – sometimes whispering, sometimes whining or yelling – whenever he hears the water running. One day, as Stavros wanders the city under a heavy rain, the voices become insistent, revealing his deepest, unspeakable secrets, as well as his dreams and memories. He is tormented by these mysterious voices, perhaps a sign of his madness. Or perhaps of a wider, collective madness, which infects everyone around him, to the point of being transmitted to the entire universe.
