The Order of the Circle by Levi Cory is described as an “occult/revenge/love story set in 1950s London.” The graphic novel will be published February 18, and in the meantime, Cemetery Dance is able to show an exclusive B&W early preview.
Cory said in a quote to Cemetery Dance, “When I saw [artist] Elisabeth [Mkheidze]’s work for the first time I knew it would fit perfectly for the story. She has this gothic flow inherent in her style, so when we talked about these dark horror elements she knew exactly how to bring the world to life. The book’s art is stunning. Elisabeth knows how to capture emotion with her work, so the character of Dorothy seems to grow right out of the page and into my imagination. And then, you throw Eva [de la Cruz]’s colors into the mix; the mood comes through, that gothic feeling is set, and the tone of the book hums like a well-oiled machine.”
