The sound is deep in the dark


Am I the last to discover this?
How to describe The Wormworld Saga? This is a webcomic graphic novel, barely started it seems, that reminds me ever slightly of Jeff Smith’s Bone and the work of Wendy Pini, but that isn’t quite correct. It’s obviously storywise somewhat related to those two, while artistically reminding me of the work of Mike Ploog with his lush rural landscapes and haunting beauty.

I can easily see Studio Ghibli adapting this for animation.
This is something that I’d love to have a collected edition for the shelf, except that can’t happen with Herr Lieske’s layouts. He plays to the strength of his medium. the only other person to do this in a webcomic is Scott McCloud.
