A man traveling the back roads comes across the bizarre town of Strangehaven, then finds himself unable to leave.
This is the start of a bizarre series by Gary Spencer Millidge, but an entertaining and engrossing one as well. Millidge’s artwork combines numerous artistic styles, from deceptively simple linework up to photo-realism, all of it coming together into something unique and evocative. His story is unusual, barely a story at all, but rather just walking through the day-to-day affairs of a strange little town loaded with unusual characters and untold secrets. Still there are so many weird things happening that our curiosity is quite effectively piqued and sustained from issue to issue. Maddening if you require comics that are easy or straightforward, but fans of “what the hell is going on?” stories will get quickly hooked.
