| The first of twelve chapters from Chicago-based Bernie McGovern, a talented and accomplished painter, illustrator and comics artist.
Set during a war between a blue-skinned people and constellations in the night sky, An Army of Lovers will be Beaten is a story of officers on furlough overseas. Lt. Buckeley, a hero and decorated pilot, arrives in the port town of Catalpa looking only for a place to nap but quickly finds himself dodging punches, bombs, and perverts. His profound gift for staying alive and near tragic level of kindness opens a world of friendship, mass murder, visions, anxiety, and song.
With a cast angelic and degenerate alike, An Army of Lovers will be Beaten is a tale of enormous domination and even greater empathy. |
