“Brilliant; thoughtful; inspiring but impossible to imitate. A complete original.” —Mike Mignola
Jesse Lonergan rewrites the rules of graphic novels with Drome, a visually mind-blowing epic about war, love, and death in a fledgling world.
First, there was nothing. Then, humanity was born, and an endless cycle of violence began. From the depths of the ocean, a mighty demigoddess is called forth to rein in humankind’s destructive impulses, and teach a language of peace and harmony. Civilization quickly takes root, a great city rising from the desert. But the balance between chaos and order is a fragile one, and there are higher powers at work in this strange new world.
Creator Jesse Lonergan pushes the boundaries of the comics medium in this visually spectacular epic. In turns pulse-pounding and heart-wrenching, Drome is a creation myth for the modern age.
Jesse Lonergan
Jesse Lonergan was born in California, raised in Saudi Arabia and Vermont, and spent two years in Turkmenistan teaching English with the Peace Corps. His first published work, Flower and Fade, from NBM ComicsLit in 2007, received minimal acclaim, which remained the case for all of his work until 2020, when his wordless sci-fi comic Hedra was published by Image Comics and nominated for an Eisner for best single issue. Since then he has worked as an artist on various projects with Dark Horse, IDW, Humanoids, and others. He likes coffee, baseball, and movies about sad robots.
