STEPHEN
SUNNY-LUNA TRAVELLING ORACLE
Writer: Matthew Erman
Artist: Sam Beck
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics/Berger Books
Cover Price: $24.99
Release Date: August 21, 2024
Esta, a lonely, book-hungry, restless teen, must fight to save the planet in this eco-noir graphic novel thriller that's part Fahrenheit 451 and part Station Eleven. In the devastated dystopian dust bowl of what was once America, a mesmerizing stage show called The Sunny-Luna Travelling Oracle comes to Esta's town. When Sunny and Luna take an interest in her, it feels like her ticket out. But these mysterious proprietors are secretly members of a harsh authoritarian order, and they have a hidden agenda: scavenge for mythic texts that hold the last hope for reviving a natural world-and destroy them. Esta is the unwitting key to this strange magic, and she soon finds herself literally transported to a supernatural Wonderland-and the twisted plot of Sunny and Luna.
