An atmospheric bank robbing fantasy.
This exquisite and mostly-silent graphic novel takes place in a fantasy cityscape loosely inspired by German expressionist film. Cult of the Ibis tells the story of an occultist getaway driver who, after escaping with the loot from a bank robbery gone wrong, orders a build-your-own homunculus kit and goes on the lam. Steeped in architecture and atmosphere, Tessler's gorgeous cartooning fuels this strangely gripping yarn, which is packaged in a gorgeous hardcover design.
CULT OF THE IBIS is part of the Fantagraphics Underground imprint.Our web store won't be receiving any more stock of CULT OF THE IBIS, but you may be able to find it from a site like Indiebound or Bookshop, or at your local independent bookstore.
