Loputyn. Cotton Tales. Volume 1. Illusions

The long-awaited graphic novel by the cult Italian artist Jessica Cioffi, known under the pseudonym Loputyn. The first book of the saga "Cotton Tales" is an incredibly beautiful comic that immerses the reader in the mystical atmosphere of 19th century England and the unpredictable surrealism of "Alice in Wonderland". The book by Loputyn is reminiscent of English Gothic novels, and the characters are like porcelain dolls, with light and darkness living inside each of them. After losing his memory from a fall from a horse, Nicholas feels like a stranger at Moran villa. The young man does not recognize the luxurious estate he woke up in, nor the haughty butler, nor his father, who sometimes seems not quite human to Nicholas. But he constantly hallucinates various things: fluffy white rabbits, terrifying masks on people's faces, the ghost of a girl living in the tower and for some reason not fond of him. Is it really just simple amnesia, or do the walls of the estate hide secrets better left undiscovered? Fear permeates everyone in the house, but maybe, evil is not what you see, but yourself? Elegant color illustrations in the style of the nineteenth century, dense coated paper, an intriguing mystical story – the perfect gift for fans of the atmosphere of Victorian England, manga, and comics. Welcome to the mesmerizing world of Loputyn!
