Tales from Phantom City

Patrick Jenkins

Welcome to Phantom City where a cat-shaped pendant with magical powers takes a detective on a precarious journey. Award-winning artist and animator Patrick Jenkins has devised a story as affecting as his complex line art. With a mixture of film noir and magic realism, Jenkins employs smoky halftones and sumptuous linework as a binding elements in a sequence of bizarre twists, offering a layered vortex of visual delights without linear paths or escape. Jenkin's debut is a stunning kaleidoscopic treasure.
