Strange embrace (1993 atomeka/tundra) 1-4 vg-f
Gothic-horror tale - slings & arrows recommended!!!
Dated: 1993
Story & Art: DAVID HINE
Contains Issue #'s 1-4 ***The COMPLETE Series!------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Young Sukumar leads a fairly typical existence, delivering packages for his parents’ store. One of his weekly deliveries is a challenging one, as it involves a most mysterious customer. Sukumar doesn’t mind, until he finds himself having bizarre, terrifying dreams—ones that seem to be sent to him by that very stranger. What’s real and what’s a dream? Just when he thinks he’s figured it out, Sukumar finds himself stepping into a new dream… one he may not survive.David Hine writes and draws this psychedelic, nightmarish series, mixing horror and dark humor in a very satisfying package. Fans of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman may feel they’ve stumbled onto a companion piece.' - COMICBASE ATLAS ARCHIVE EDITION------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'A criminally neglected masterpiece that comfortably sits alongside the most highly regarded comics of the past decade. As a study in malevolence and truly horrific obsession there's nothing to match Strange Embrace in comics. Writer and artist David Hine begins with the psychic Alex Steadman, who murders his parents before becoming a tenant in a vast house owned by the reclusive, broken Anthony Corbeau. Probing his mind as he sleeps, Alex learns of Corbeau's youth, seemingly one of callous indifference to those around him in keeping to a solitary indulgence. As more of Corbeau's family history seeps through, a tragic story is revealed, fleshed out by the hidden diaries of Corbeau's long-deceased wife. Magnificently plotted and considered down to the smallest observations, this deeply disturbing story is ideally matched by Hine's art. Jagged and dark, his choice of African tribal carvings as a recurring motif provides profoundly unsettling primal imagery to counterpoint the preposterously formal turn-of-the-century domestic structure. In a truly graphic novel that's part Joseph Conrad, part E. M. Forster and part Edgar Allen Poe, the shocking events depicted have resonance that remains long after the story concludes. If you're interested in intelligent adult comics you should spare no effort in locating this series, and that it's yet to be collected in more durable format by any publisher is a woeful oversight.' - SLINGS & ARROWS COMIC GUIDE
