StockID: 125818 SKU: 0824FB520
Like a Lynchian take on Alice in Wonderland- Jessica Farm opens with an exterior of what could be any Midwestern farmhouse. Once inside- we track our titular heroine (she is a person- not a place) as she bounds out of bed on Christmas morning and goes about her routine- eventually breakfasting with her grandparents. The banality of the situation is subverted by a ratcheting sense of dread as we discover that Jessica’s increasingly nightmarish house — where the inside seems bigger than the outside- like Snoopy’s doghouse — is filled with creatures around every corner: some whimsical- some sexual- some despairing- and some malevolent. Most terrifying of all is Jessica’s father. Will she even get to open the presents under the Christmas tree?Taking place over a single Christmas Day- Jessica Farm is a career-spanning comics project in which Simmons has been drawing one page every month for the past 24 years- starting in January 2000. This is a horror-fantasy-psychodrama that will appeal to fans of Charles Burns- David Cronenberg- and Dario Argento.
