Freestyle wrestler The Sledgehammer has never met defeat- not at the hands of Painkiller- Handsome Jens- Fezzik the Giant or the Angel of Death. But over the course of 80 pages- Danish illustrator John Kenn Mortensen’s surreal black and white graphic novel will take Sledgehammer to the limits of reality- to show that he’s motivated by far more than hubris—it’s also love.Mortensen’s first English-language graphic novel delivers on the promise that his delightfully macabre books of illustration had previously made to readers around the world. With his spidery black-ink style- reminiscent of Edward Gorey’s gothic line- we’re taken to a world in which heavy metal mixes with the WWE by way of The Seventh Seal and Faust.
