Wordsmith

Dave Darrigo and R. G. Taylor’s Wordsmith, published by Caliber Press since 1996, is a nine-issue series that explores the power of language in a world where words can literally shape reality. Through Taylor’s evocative art and Darrigo’s thoughtful scripts, the series delves into the responsibilities of a protagonist whose ability to manipulate language carries both creative and destructive consequences. It stands as a distinctive, creator-driven work from the indie comics boom of the 1990s, offering a meditative take on storytelling itself.
