'Butterfly Gate' by Benjamin Read & Chris Wildgoose

I really enjoyed their previous graphic novel, 'Porcelain: A Gothic Fairytale' (it's well worth a read!), and the creators of that book, Benjamin Read and Chris Wildgoose, are back with a new book, 'Butterfly Gate'
"A Brother and Sister leave our world and its rules behind, journeying into legend through the Butterfly Gate, where every step they take will come at a price. 
Butterfly Gate follows the story of two siblings who, after throwing themselves headlong into another world, must face the brutal reality that lies beyond and find their place amidst an empire built after a revolution against the Gods."
An ongoing, episodic, Sci-Fi odyssey, 'Butterfly Gate' is also a silent comic, conveying the story purely through its imagery. After reading the preview, I look forward to reading this!

Limited UK indie editions of Butterfly Gate, (as well as Knight & Dragon, by Matt Gibbs and Bevis Musson), will be available Wednesday, November 20th 2013 from supporting UK comic shops, such as Page 45 (Nottingham), Travelling Man (Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and York), Gosh! (London), Orbital Comics (London), Chaos City Comics (St. Albans), Destination Venus (Harrogate), Paradox Comics (Poole), and OK Comics (Leeds).

Both books will also be debuting at this year's Thought Bubble Comic Art Festival in Leeds on November 23rd/24th, with Benjamin, Bevis, Chris, and Matt in attendance. In addition, Chris and Bevis will be sketching at the Improper Books table in New Dock Hall.
