Description
THERE IS A GIRL. She has no memory and no name.
Nothing but a GUARDIAN. An armored giant who protects her from predators and
pitfalls.
TOGETHER THEY WALK across an
extraordinary fantasy world. If they leave the path the air itself comes alive,
forcing them onwards. Why? The girl doesn't know, but there's worse than beasts
and bandits ahead. CIVILISATION, with its temptations and treacheries, will test
their bond beyond its limits.
STEP BY BLOODY
STEP is a fantasy opus from the Eisner Award nominees behind CODA
(selection officielle Angouleme 2021): MATIAS BERGARA (HELLBLAZER,
THE SCUMBAG) and SI SPURRIER (X-MEN LEGACY, HELLBLAZER, THE SPIRE).
Breaking new ground with the possibilities
of sequential art, this completely wordless visual feast will delight fans of
PRINCESS MONONOKE, ISOLA, and the visionary works of Moebius.

Reviews / Votes
"STEP BY BLOODY STEP may be my new favorite comic. SPURRIER, BERGARA,and LOPES have created something that celebrates everything comics can be:
mysterious, inventive, bursting with imagination, and also incredibly heartfelt
without ever saying a word." -JEFF LEMIRE (Sweet Tooth, THE BONE
ORCHARD MYTHOS) "This compelling epic fantasy features richly developed characters, breathless suspense, and a profoundly moving climax, all conveyed through illustrator Matias Bergara's (Coda) brilliant visual storytelling alone, unaccompanied by text or dialogue... An emotionally nuanced, action-packed, absolutely astonishing feat of graphic narrative." -Library Journal (starred review) "Rewards rereads. The visual storytelling is intuitive, but still
kind of unique, and EW can confirm that subsequent reads can shed light on key
details or transitions that may have gone unnoticed the first time."
-Entertainment Weekly "Full of grandiose environmental spectacle and giant-vs.-monster
action, but there's just as much magic in the smaller moments, which show
off a different side of BERGARA's ingenuity."
-Polygon "A gorgeously drawn introduction to a bizarre, fascinating, and
wordless world." -Comic Book Resources
