James Turner, the creator of Rex Libris comic books, is back with a new graphic novel, “The Book of Maggor Thoom.”
As with most of Turners comic book work, Maggor Thoom exists in a heightened reality which is parallel to our own. The lead character, Maggor Thoom is a demon who lives on the surface of a black hole.
After endless eons of success as the star employee of the Insanity Acquisition Department, he has lost his passion and purpose. Yet he knows all to well that those who do not drink the Antediluvian Kool-Aid are soon fed to the ravenous Maw. To save himself from annihilation, Mr. Thoom sets off on a desperate journey of self-discovery: he flees The Void and seeks help on a small, blue orb known as Earth.
In the past, Turner has worked with Adobe Illustrator to create his comics, but this time he went in a different direction.
“It’s my first book not done in Adobe illustrator; instead, I used ProCreate, working on an iPad Pro,” said Turner. “It gives the book a look unlike any of my other graphic novels. It’s much more whimsical than Rex Libris, has far fewer references, and is a less text heavy read.”
The Book of Maggor Thoom is available now.
