Atlas #3
"Atlas: A Life Of Emil Kopen" is a poignant, introspective story from Dylan Horrocks, who writes, draws, inks, and letters the entire issue with meticulous care. The narrative unfolds through a dream sequence in which Sam Zabel, a struggling cartoonist juggling two creative projects, encounters the character Lady Night in a moment of quiet, surreal reflection. A 3.95 USD comic from 2006, it captures the intimate tension between artistic ambition and personal exhaustion with quiet precision.
In "Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen: Episode 2," Sam Zabel wrestles with creative burnout as he tries to finish two comic series—Pickle and Lady Night—only to drift off at his desk and plunge into a dream featuring the mysterious Lady Night. Written and drawn by Dylan Horrocks, the story blends introspective drama with surreal adventure, exploring the blurred lines between imagination and reality.
