Harvey Knight s Odyssey is the latest book in Nick s deepening catalog of jocular misery. Solarism is a religion that acknowledges there is a balance of light and dark in the Universe. But while Solarists believe it is possible to achieve a state of Pure Light by exposing themselves to the rays of the sun (or tanning beds on cloudy days), the Forces of Dark conspire against them and send hooded Shadow Men to eliminate the Light. Subsequently, Solarists must kill these Shadow Men. It s the only way. When a thief infiltrates the sacred chambers of the Solarists, Assistant-to-the-Master Harvey Knight must test the strength of his beliefs in order to restore order. Or maybe he s plotting to overthrow the leader and make the religion his own. Either way, it s an odyssey. Nick Maandag has been making bone-dry hilarious comics for years, exploring the ridiculousness of human vanity and beliefs. He approaches each comic with the understanding that we are all desperate to be seen and find the most outrageous ways to make that happen. Few cartoonists elicit belly laughs the way Maandag does.
Nick Maandag was born in Mississauga, Ontario, in 1982. He studied philosophy at Erindale College before moving to Toronto in 2006. His previous comics include The Follies of Richard Wadsworth, Streakers, The Libertarian, and Facility Integrity. He has received nominations for both the Doug Wright and Joe Shuster Awards.
