Victorian adventure -- an era full of top-hatted intrigue,
dirigibles galore, all-too-demure sensuality and completely
unironic classism. Now there's an antidote: Dispatches from
Wondermark Manor, a rollicking, absurd, completely ridiculous yarn
from the author of the celebrated comic strip "Wondermark."
Taking the tropes of Conan Doyle-style adventure fiction and
ramping them way over the top, Malki's story brings together:
Ghosts (of course) Airships (of course) High society intrigue Old
men in salt barrels Horses that cannot fly Frightful moustaches
aplenty Cheese handling as an artform General bad decisions, and
Casual mass murder
All in a stunningly-designed package evocative of the grandest
pulp style. Praised by many for its strangeness and wonder,
Dispatches from Wondermark Manor is offered here for the very first
time in a complete omnibus edition, including all three volumes of
the novels (originally available only as long out-of-print
chapbooks)plus a separate prologue from Malki's book Beards of our
Forefathers, plus all-new hand-drawn maps of the locations in the
story.
