Peter + Maria Hoey talk about walking the tightrope that is creating tension in #storytelling. #The Shadower presents a haunting, ice-cold story of identity, #espionage, and #betrayal. Grab the thought provoking #graphicnovel here: https://ow.ly/LgAP50YOLc8 #indiecomics #ogn #spythriller #tension
"THE SHADOWER is unlike any espionage thriller I’ve ever read. Indeed, I’m not sure it can properly be called an espionage thriller, despite that being the main thrust of the story. The actual plot is a Kafkaesque psychodrama built around issues of identity." @noflyingnotights.com
“The Shadower is an artistically stunning and darkly humorous graphic novel, grappling with themes of state repression, resistance and surveillance.” Our new graphic novel reviewed by Paul Buhle for the @demsocialists.bsky.social DEMOCRATIC LEFT democraticleft.dsausa.org/2026/04/10/7...
