Description
"A funny, funky, and fresh fantasy adventure with a surprisingly powerful meditation on mortality."
-François Vigneault, author of TITAN
After rising day after day for billions of years, the Sun - recovering from a bit too much celestial partying the night before - makes a fateful decision to stay in bed. With the Earth plunged into darkness, everyone from Philomène the flower to Death itself face dire consequences, trapped in an everlasting winter and surrounded by mysterious creatures that have emerged from the shadows. Can anything make the Sun shine again?

Editorial Reviews
"This kinetic graphic novel, full of charming character designs and gorgeous cartooning, manages to seamlessly merge a funny, funky, and fresh fantasy adventure with a surprisingly powerful meditation on mortality."
-François Vigneault, author of TITAN
"Botanica Drama is able to evoke a complete and casual mythos... Thom's incorporation of both light, Looney Tunes comedy and the horrors of a permanent night means the world never becomes maudlin... Botanica Drama is at core a love story, charmingly told.""
-Connor Harrison, Montreal Review of Books
