Book excerpt: An armored giant and a helpless child. Together they cross an astonishing world brimming with beasts, bandits, and—deadliest by far—civilizations… If they stop walking, the earth itself forces them onwards. WHY? The child can’t ask. She and her guardian have no language, no memory, nothing—except each other. Multiple-Eisner nominees SI SPURRIER (X-Men), MATÍAS BERGARA (Coda), and MATHEUS LOPES (Supergirl) present a watershed moment in modern comics: four double-length chapters of a bittersweet fantasy opus, completely text free. Let’s take a walk. Early praise for STEP BY BLOODY STEP: “My new favorite comic. Mysterious, inventive and heartfelt, without ever saying a word.” —JEFF LEMIRE “A stunning feat… truly unique.
