Limbo shares a murky, and symbol-laden tale of art, capitalism (or, if you prefer, colonialism) and political unrest in an unnamed Southeast Asian country (that seems ,more or less, like a stand-in for Myanmar) that is rendered in an approrpiate and appealing style that reallky captures the vibe.

“Super weird like a crazy fever dream. I liked it and it stuck with me.”- Zadie Smith

In an unnamed country, air heavy with the heat of imminent uprising, the decision to go running alone after dark sets in motion a chain of chances and choices that change everybody they touch. Cai, sculptor at an arts residency in an upscale resort, and his colleague Lisa, a local working as his aide, are drawn into a complex series of events in which myth rises in the shadow of politics and the bright lights of festive fireworks.

Breakdown Press are excited to publish Ferry Gouw’s new comic Limbo, an exciting and compelling rumination on belonging, the hidden truth of folklore, and the insidious coiling of colonialism. Drawn in luminous, glowing colour, Limbo is a comic that demands to be read, giving light to stories that remain unseen.

Limbo was printed at Tiger Printing in Hong Kong.

And, we've posted a nice gallery of pages/panels from Limbo up at the Copacetic Tumblr, HERE. Take a look.
