The Maze

    (Metaphrog, 1997)
™ and © Metaphrog

A young journalist on a working vacation in an island paradise gets caught up in a Mafia bid to build a hotel at the expense of the locals. Also, she encounters a bit of international gem smuggling and the mystery of several others just like her who came to bad ends when they got in the Mafia’s way.

Melodramatic, with poor pacing made worse by disjointed art scratched against really good paper, this book’s attempts to cram a massive amount of story into two issues could be the source of its dialogue-intense failure.

Creators Sandra Micine and John Chalmers, operating under the pseudonym Metaphrog, are also behind Strange Weather Lately, a surreal comic featuring a paranoid actor’s adventures in Glasgow. The comic has attracted a growing international cult following.
