Hello Dear Readers, today we are pleased to being you an excerpt from Ferry Gouw's Limbo, out now from Breakdown Press for dog lovers everywhere. This soft-featured story hovers over shadowed conversations revealing a curving disorder backlit by a warm palette of earthly orange and yellow crashing into electric pink.

From the publisher's website:

In an unnamed country, air heavy with the heat of imminent uprising, the decision to go running alone after dark sets in motion a chain of chances and choices that change everybody they touch. Cai, sculptor at an arts residency in an upscale resort, and his colleague Lisa, a local working as his aide, are drawn into a complex series of events in which myth rises in the shadow of politics and the bright lights of festive fireworks.

Breakdown Press are excited to publish Ferry Gouw’s new comic Limbo, an exciting and compelling rumination on belonging, the hidden truth of folklore, and the insidious coiling of colonialism. Drawn in luminous, glowing colour, Limbo is a comic that demands to be read, giving light to stories that remain unseen.

Thank you to Breakdown Press for sharing this excerpt with TCJ. We hope you enjoy.
