A New Gnosis“To Survive and Still Dream”: Ritual and Reclamation in Little Bird

A New Gnosis: “To Survive and Still Dream”: Ritual and Reclamation in Little Bird [Winner of the Eisner Award for Best Limited Series (2020), Little Bird: The Fight for Elder’s Hope presents readers with a postapocalyptic vision which pits an obscenely corrupt totalitarian religious regime against an indigenously inspired rebel community. In pages steeped in rich, lushly saturated hues of red, aqua, and violet, writer Darcy Van Poelgeest and artist Ian Bertram’s eponymous character Little Bird swoops into each comic panel – deftly fierce and gravely vulnerable. The comic is a picture of archetypal contrasts: between institution and individual, between other and self, between death and life, between real and imagined, between story and experience.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Winner of the Eisner Award for Best Limited Series (2020), Little Bird: The Fight for Elder’s Hope presents readers with a postapocalyptic vision which pits an obscenely corrupt totalitarian religious regime against an indigenously inspired rebel community. In pages steeped in rich, lushly saturated hues of red, aqua, and violet, writer Darcy Van Poelgeest and artist Ian Bertram’s eponymous character Little Bird swoops into each comic panel – deftly fierce and gravely vulnerable. The comic is a picture of archetypal contrasts: between institution and individual, between other and self, between death and life, between real and imagined, between story and experience.]
