Description

Our protagonist Palmer—wallflower, mystic seeker and paper mill operator—moves into a new apartment with his outwardly self-assured and womanising friend, Perry. Thus begins an epic struggle of love and self-preservation. Events take a peculiar turn as Palmer befriends an iconoclastic co-worker, Billy Boy, and plunges headlong into a world of subterranean organisations, sorcery, and wild goose chases. Palmer is worried that before any semblance of order can be restored, he must face more chaos.

Highbone Theater by Joe Daly is a captivating narrative that intertwines the mundane with the mystical, pushing the boundaries of reality as Palmer navigates through his extraordinary journey.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"Alternating between bold black-and-white panels and brilliant full-colour sequences, Daly deftly navigates the mundane and the madcap. Highbone Theater blends noisy roommates, ineffectual romance, 9/11 conspiracies, and hallucinogenic adventures into an exhilarating, bizarre tale. Fans of Daly's Dungeon Quest will appreciate its blend of realism and fantasy, marked by humour and melancholy." — Publishers Weekly
