Fantagraphics has announced the July release of Celestia, a new graphic novel from Manuele Fior.
The book is set on a mysterious concrete island called Celestia, built over a thousand years ago as a refuge and now cut off from the mainland entirely. Celestia has since become an outpost for criminals and other misfits, as well as a refuge for a group of young telepaths. Events push two of them, Dora and Pierrot, to flee the island and set sail to the mainland, where they discover a world on the precipice of a metamorphosis. On the mainland the adults are prisoners of their own fortresses, unintentionally preserving the “old world” at a time when a new generation could guide society towards a better humanity.
Celestia arrives on July 20, 2021.
