Peculia

By Richard Sala

Peculia collects strips contained in Sala's ongoing comic book series Evil Eye , also published by Fantagraphics. Peculia, our intrepid, super-ish heroine, is a precocious and rebellious masked adventurer who fearlessly wanders her way through a world filled with zombies, monsters and more. Often compared to Edward Gorey and Charles Addams, Sala has developed a distinctive narrative and visual style that can best be described as gothic humor. The Peculia collection is an excellent introduction to Richard Sala's idiosyncratic universe of noir-ish mystery, suspense, and occasional whimsy.

Witches, madmen, evil children, and denizens of the macabre

Imaginatively written and deftly drawn by Richard Sala, Peculia is a unique and highly recommended black-and-white graphic novel that connects the bizarre adventures of a truly unusual girl from the comic book series "Evil Eye." The plucky young lady confronts witches, madmen, evil children, and other denizens of the macabre in this tongue-in-cheek, distinctively drawn, and succinctly presented collection.
