Check out the preview to the upcoming book!
So before today I really was not aware of comic creator David Malki's masterpiece web-comic strip, 'Wondermark.' I think I may just have to run out and pick this up in hardcover when it hits store shelves next week, March 24th. The comic, which Malki publishes online at Wondermark.com is a series of short strips with a variety of characters and is stylistically inspired by the Victorian Era. Now, while the strip might look like it has taken cues from the eighteen and nineteen hundreds, it deals with a variety of modern issues. The most recent, for example (which I have included below) is a great example of this. Based on the image, it is pretty obvious that the Victorian Era heavily influenced the content of the comic strip in terms of artistic style.
