Snipe, originally released as a book object in a very limited edition of 100, consists of two discrete stories. Snipe I follows a wildlife photographer lost in the woods while memories of his previous night's fever dream gradually surface. Snipe II is a highly detailed and possibly fictionalized account of the life and career WWII's most celebrated sniper, Finland's Simo Häyhä. Where these stories intersect is in the territory of memory and inaccuracy, myth-building and psychosis.
This project is another point on the Immonens' trajectory of continually exploring comics and experimental storytelling.
