In a world where nothing seems real, a girl named Sara tracks a phantom killer by living moments of his victims dreams.
Are you intrigued? I know I am!
You may not have heard of Septagon Studios yet, but with their latest release “Masks” created by Aaron Rintoul, I believe all those interested in the comic book scene will not only know the name, but also become avid fans.
Masks is a prime example of what an independent graphic tale should be. It sets on the cutting edge, looming over and furrowing it’s brow at the regurgitated comics that belch from the mouths of DC and Marvel. Aaron Rintoul and Septagon Studios have the right to be proud. Masks is visually entrancing and the story reads like a poem. It’s a beautiful mixture, but don’t just take my word for it, go read Masks for yourself at the Septagon website, here’s the link: www.septagonstudios.com/Masks.html
Here is what Aaron had this to say about Masks:
Masks began as an exercise in sequential storytelling using only visuals, mainly photography and digital painting. When I decided to actually letter Masks I felt the writing needed to be just as unique as its visual style. What I came up with was more of a graphic poem than a graphic novel. On the surface “Masks” is a dark psychological thriller that follows a girl named Sara who’s thoughts and memories are not always her own. Masks is a non linear story and is meant to be left open to interpretation, so I won’t elaborate and spoil that aspect of it. My intention with Masks was to make something highly original that I had never seen done in comics before and a book the reader would want to open up more than just once.
