Sneak Peek — A Chivalrous Faerie Fungus On A Quest: ‘Mushroom Knight’ Rides In 2024
by Brendan M. Allen
It’s David the Gnome meets David Lynch in this boundary crossing ecological fantasy filled with humor, horror, depth and delight…
Mad Cave Studios has announced The Mushroom Knight, the debut title by Pacific Northwest writer, artist, and mushroom enthusiast Oliver Bly.
‘A chivalrous faerie mushroom embarks on a quest to uncover a clandestine threat that has brought calamity to his magical woodland kingdom.
An adolescent girl from northwest Philadelphia desperately searches for her lost dog.
As their destinies coalesce, a whimsical friendship forms. But peril is nigh, and their respective journeys threaten to challenge the foundation of their realities… and reality itself.’
“At the crossroads of pop art, ecology, esotericism, and fable, a tiny thing has sprouted from the topsoil. That thing is The Mushroom Knight—a graphic novel that has incubated for a very long time in the cavern of my imagination… a Mad Cave, indeed,” said Bly. “It is with ecstatic gratitude that I invite the reader to follow me on a weird and wild path into the deep dark woods, where worlds both seen and unseen have a curious tale to tell us about the ecosystems of our planet, and the ecosystems of our innermost beings. I feel a deep sense of beauty and curiosity in this place. I look forward to sharing it with you.”
