Set to hit the pages of Dark Horse’s Eisner-winning anthology,
writer Simon Roy and artist Jason Wordie’s Tiger
Lung is going back in time!
“The Tiger Lung concept is about taking the animist, shamanistic
worldview of the hunter-gatherer and exploring what it would look and feel like
to the shamans that literally lived within that worldview. Setting it in the
ice age also gives us a chance to touch on more varied themes, too—mainly, how
the world would have looked to humans who did not rule nature, but who were
just a part of it,” explained Simon Roy.
Tiger Lung: Under the Ice
is a story about Tiger Lung, an ice-age shaman, and his journey underneath a
glacier and into the spirit world beneath it to retrieve the corpse of his
father. But dark spirits abound beneath the ice, and should Tiger Lung fall,
the souls of both him and his father will be trapped there forever.
“We found the format for Dark Horse Presents to be very interesting. It seemed to be well
suited for exactly what we wanted to do with a Tiger Lung story—classic adventure!” added Jason Wordie. “Being
that the format is split into three parts, it insured that we kept it fresh and
exciting every step of the way, including lots of twists and turns. We focused
on old-school serialized adventure, while also trying to bring in some more
modern ideas.”
