Colonia #2
In "And Not a Drop to Drink," Jeff Nicholson crafts a quietly intense narrative set against the stark backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, where the weight of isolation and forgotten histories presses in. With a grounded, atmospheric tone, the story unfolds through a series of evocative references—books on naval lore, ancient maps, and distant voyages—hinting at deeper currents beneath the surface. The issue's stark, moody visuals, fully realized by Nicholson on both interior and cover, mirror the story’s brooding mood, making this a standout in the Colonia series.
