Anybody who has actually ever experienced his stunning artwork comes away with a marvelous glance into a fictional world that resonates with haunting beauty.And if his retro-futuristic style appears familiar, Amazon Primes expressive sci-fi anthology, “Tales From The Loop,” was motivated by his catalog of surreal paintings. Now Stålenhag has actually created a brand-new 184-page apocalyptic artbook that makes the most of his fiercely original compositions and Space.com has a special peek inside this deluxe hardbound.”The Labyrinth” (Image/Skybound, 2021) shown up on Nov. 17 in a status format edition that provides the visual legend of destruction and vengeance set against a transcendent world filled with ancient residues of a disastrous phenomenon.Image 1 of 7(Image credit: Image/Skybound)Image 2 of 7(Image credit: Image/Skybound)Image 3 of 7(Image credit: Image/Skybound)Image 4 of 7(Image credit: Image/Skybound)Image 5 of 7(Image credit: Image/Skybound)Image 6 of 7(Image credit: Image/Skybound)Image 7 of 7(Image credit: Image/Skybound)A lumbering eight-wheeled automobile trundles across a hellish landscape of ash and ruined buildings towards a lone bunker deep in the remote wilderness. Inside the car are three travelers: 2 researchers– who plan on using the station as a headquarters for studying planet-ending phenomena– and a young boy called Charlie. As the story unspools, the seclusion and claustrophobia of the home threatens each member of the expedition with insanity. Required to face their own dark history and the battles of the have-nots and haves, the group finds itself speeding toward an inescapable Hell.”The Labyrinth” is offered in comic shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play and anywhere books are sold.If youre trying to find more cosmic reading, check out our Best Space and Sci-Fi Books for 2021.
