Far Down Below

If you liked the fantasy kid flicks of the ‘80s—stuff like Explorers, Goonies, Weird Science, The Last Starfighter—you’ll find Chris Condon & Gege Schall’s graphic novel Far Down Below a fun ride. It’s a clever amalgam of Jules Verne and Eerie Indiana, with classy artwork and an intriguing storyline that keeps you guessing. – Joe Dante (Gremlins, Piranha)Condon draws us into another wonderful mystery, this time with a warm heart and sense of adventure, tongue firmly in cheek as astonishing world-changing discoveries are made, single-parenting continues to be a strain, and our youngest continue to be our bravest, pushing forward into the past in search of answers and connections to each other. Schall renders it all with aplomb—this is a story that might equally absorb you on your family television set, or the Jules Verne section of catacomb-like library. That’s what makes it a perfect comic book. – Christopher Cantwell (Doctor Doom, The Mask, Iron Man, Captain America, and Star Wars: Obi-Wan)

Chris Condon is the writer of the ongoing Image Comics series That Texas Blood, as well as its acclaimed Wild West spinoff, The Enfield Gang Massacre.
