Press             Go to Projects Inspired by book.

by Olga Volozova & Juliacks

36 pages | 9" x 6" | published by Sparkplug Comic Books

Rock That Never Sleeps is part folk tale and part science fiction. This futuristic comic book is set in a California desert ghost town. The town, Rock That Never Sleeps, is a sprawling junkyard "where objects are thrown away and where memories live on forever." In this world, all have lost their memory and the only way to remember something is through an object. In the story, two families of sages from the past and the future travel to this town to search for the memories they have lost. With the help of discarded keys, plastic forks, and wooden puppets the characters access their forgotten past-and are able to pass on.

UNICORN MOUNTAIN VOL. 2 MUSIC AND COMIC ANTHOLOGY
order here
Featuring JULIACKS' Like Lace   120 pages

Review: "It's hard to live up to a name that sounds like a Gygax-penned D & D module, but the thick black and white book has comics, fiction, illustrations, and a 21-song CD with Elf Power, The USA is a Monster, and Oneida. Paper Rad contributes a few illustrations, Beano draws two fine comics, and there's much more. Anthologies are fun, and this one is extra brave since it introduces so many new names." Giant Robot, Issue 43.

p.s. yeehaw! next issue out sometime soon!
