Author Description

Following the success of the first volume, Out of the box returns with an even more captivating second chapter! Explore desolate western worlds, ancient mythologies, and face incredible mysteries through the eyes of unlikely heroes. Cover by Vincenzo Puglia, with original art by Davide “Daw” Berardi, Erika “EKRA” De Giglio, and Massimiliano Favazza, plus a selection of strips from Berkeley Mews. In the appendix, all the works submitted for our magic-themed Contest, held during the 2022 Kickstarter campaign, and won by Blu Pieraccioli, are included. Out of the box is a comic anthology featuring 5 multi-chapter stories. 9 different authors will guide you through completely different art styles and genres, telling you compelling stories with unexpected twists. Explore the forsaken western world of Ghost Dance (Parisi, Di Virgilio), where vampires, werewolves, demons, and all sorts of monsters challenge enchanting gunslingers and shape-shifting shamans. Discover an ancient mythology, perpetuated for centuries by a magical order that knows the secret of world creation, in two space-themed stories: The copper roll (Freschi, Colangelo) and The old man and the Treasure of Treasures (Green, Borelli). The first is an action-tinged space opera, the second a measured road story featuring surprising protagonists. Shamans again, but Mongolian this time, are the protagonists of The turquoise wolf and the tawny doe (Masi, Zaccarini), while Mayan mythology forms the basis of the mad scientific experiments you’ll find in Project Hummingbird (Green, D’Urso).
