BOOKISH: Jared Axelrod and Steve Walker @ Penn Bookstore, 5/24

Filed Under: Arts Books

After finding out some dark secrets about her hometown, the flying city of Amperstam, heroine Ashe has a decision to make: either put her life at risk by releasing the information to the public, or keep her lips sealed so the city leaders' thugs and assassins will finally leave her alone. In this classic whistleblower's dilemna, Ashe's information might help uncover the mystery of why Amperstam is able to soar high above the world.

Following the success of their Fables of the Flying City Podcast, Philly authors/illustrators Jared Axelrod and Steve Walker present a feature-length graphic novel about the city so many have come to love. With all the raucaus mischief of Tank Girl and the bravery of Mad Max, The Battle of Blood and Ink is the ultimate steampunk fantasy about one girl's dedication to spreading the truth. Catch a free reading of it tomorrow (May 24) at 6 p.m. at Penn Bookstore (3601 Walnut St.).
