on a whim some time last year i picked up issue #1 of the apparently new series by the title of Elephantmen. i was at once enthralled by a dark, mysterious, bladerunner-esque pulp-laden world of the future, full of mercenaries, monsters and a sense of nightmarish magic. the art drew me in, and refused to let me go.
i fervently searched for any and all traces of prior work, and then found a notification for the release of hip flask; concrete jungle.
let me once again say... wow. absolutely amazing. the art, the words, the characters, the sense of wonder and horror that strikes you all at once. even if you've never read a Starkings story before, the beautiful art work by ladronn will draw you in long enough fir the words to hook you completely.
in case you hadn't noticed, i am smitten with hip, and hope to see more of his adventures in a world gone horribly wrong.
buy it now!

Once you know how the characters came about (read Hip Flask: Unnatural Selection first), then this will make sense.

Starkings definitely tells a great story and the artistry is amazing.
