“A Brother and Sister leave our world and its rules behind, journeying into legend through the Butterfly Gate, where every step they take will come at a price.”

 

 

Written by Benjamin Read and illustrated by Chris Wildgoose, BUTTERFLY GATE follows the story of two siblings who, after throwing themselves headlong into another world, must face the brutal reality that lies beyond and find their place amidst an empire built after a revolution against the Gods.

An ongoing story, consisting of three arcs, BUTTERFLY GATE is a silent comic, a SF odyssey for an adult audience, conveying the story purely through its imagery.

‘This is both an artists dream and nightmare kind of story to draw. It’s completely silent, which gives me a lot of freedom and expression, but also a lot of responsibility,’ said Chris, about working on BUTTERFLY GATE.

‘I think once people start following these children through the Gate and beyond they’re going to have their minds blown, the first episode is a tiny scratch on where we’re going, you’re going to see these kids travel through space and time and take on armies, nations and Gods.’

A limited, B&W preview of the first issue, BUTTERFLY GATE: BEGINNINGS, will be available at the Bristol Comic Expo on May 12-­‐13th, 2012, and Chris will be signing and sketching at the Improper Books table.
