The Juniper Lodge - by Dustin Weaver & Jeremy Barlow & D J Bryant (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A dreamy and haunting collection of standalone tales where perception unravels, identity fractures, and reality bends--delivered with visionary style by Dustin Weaver.

A twisted town in the Old West sacrifices one of its own every twelve hours at the demand of a demonic gun. A man finds his mind is trapped in the brain of an insect, and believes the normal world he sees is a delusion. An abandoned roadside motel is home to an entity that has captured the imagination of a passing comic book artist and is drawing him back.

The Juniper Lodge is a self-contained collection of five stories from the pages of Dustin Weaver's anthology series PAKLIS. Unpredictable, idiosyncratic, and original, each story explores themes of perception, memory, and identity while expertly moving between genres with a dynamic style.

The psychological and surreal become alluring through Weaver's engaging characters and vivid worlds, while never failing to get under the skin.

Collects stories previously published in PAKLIS: #0,1,2,6,9.

About the Author

Dustin Weaver began his career in comics as an intern at WildStorm Studios in 2003, where he was held to an unreasonable standard by his idol. Since then, he's illustrated the NY Times bestselling novel The Tenth Circle, had a fruitful relationship with Dark Horse Comics where he made significant contributions to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, and worked for several years exclusively at Marvel where, most notably, he co-created the acclaimed series S.H.I.E.L.D: Architects of Forever with writer Jonathan Hickman. In recent years, Weaver has moved into the writing side of comics. He helped define IDW's approach to Rocksteady and Bebop in their Ninja Turtles comics by co-writing the duo's introductory issue and the mini-series Bebop and Rocksteady Destroy Everything! For Marvel he has performed as writer and artist for Edge of Spider-Verse and the 5-issue series Infinity Gauntlet: Warzones. Weaver now dedicates himself to his own Image series, including PAKLIS.
