Superb storytelling and extreme ultraviolence combine in this rare gem of graphic art. Walk features hand-painted art by Cardoselli!
Stefano Cardoselli's Walk
In the hellishly repressive 'utopia' of America's not-too-distant future, mindless televised violence is the last surviving art form. A dying society's final means of catharsis finds its ultimate expression in The Tower Of Justice, seventeen stories of carnage and cameras, where hundreds of condemned criminals fight to the death daily in glorious prime time. Enter Garrotte, a living mountain of muscle and angst, a man determined to take the 'long walk' to the top of the tower, where, it's just possible, the ultimate prize of freedom awaits...
“Walk is a mix of sci-fi and ultraviolence inspired by magazines like 2000AD and Lobo by Simon Bisley. I will be hand-coloring the book...” -Stefano Cardoselli, Story and Art
“Without a doubt the most over-the-top violent comic I have ever worked on.” -Stephen Nelson, Writer
"Stefano Cardoselli - I hate this guy! I've only published everything he's sent me! I think he can draw his ass off, and look forward to his next contribution." - Kevin Eastman, Heavy Metal Editor-in-Chief
