Folly: The Consequences of Indiscretion #[nn]

Hans Rickheit's Folly: The Consequences of Indiscretion arrives from Fantagraphics with a cover that is quietly arresting — a pale, deer-like creature balanced on impossibly spindly legs stands alone against a muted blue-grey expanse of barren, rocky ground. The stark simplicity of Rickheit's linework gives the image an unsettling, fable-like quality that perfectly suits the subtitle's air of moral weight. This 2012 release promises the kind of strange, deliberate visual storytelling that rewards patient readers willing to sit with its eerie atmosphere.
