Subtle Violents

    (Cry for Dawn, 1991)
™ and ©1991 Cry for Dawn Productions

Reminiscent of a comic-sized Heavy Metal, this anthology book is regarded by creator Joseph Michael Linsner as an outlet for his non-horror work. Featuring work by Linsner (Cry for Dawn) and other creators, this book has elements of sword & sorcery, magic, super-heroes and hard science-fiction.

Some of the most popular serials in the book include Rhyder, a futuristic swordsman by Linsner (influenced heavily by Alien designer H. R. Giger); Ahryssia, an alien trapped on earth tale by frequent Linsner collaborator Joseph Monks; and The New Order, a sci-fi tale where women are in charge of the planet and hunt men for sport, by Kevin J. Taylor. Some issues include interviews with artists and painters who are favorites of Linsner.
