Created by Benjamin Read (Writer) and Chris Wildgoose (Illustrator), PORCELAIN: A Gothic Fairy Tale is set within a world that’s a magical echo of our own. It is the story of Child, an urchin, who leaves behind the cold streets of a snowy city when she climbs the high wall into the Porcelain Maker’s garden.

Released to wide critical acclaim amongst readers, fellow creators, and the comic press, PORCELAIN: A Gothic Fairy Tale has since gone on to be translated and published in France by Éditions Delcourt. Although a completely standalone story, PORCELAIN: A Gothic Fairy Tale is the first part of a series, featuring PORCELAIN: Bone China and PORCELAIN: Ivory Tower. The books follow Child into adulthood, and tell the epic story of one woman’s grand and terrible life, and the marks she leaves on the world.


 

“PORCELAIN is a gorgeous and haunting steampunkesque fairy tale. Creepy, compelling and beautifully realised.” Kurt Busiek (Astro City, Avengers, Conan, Marvels)

“PORCELAIN is a gorgeous, gothic fever dream, beautiful and terrifying and funny and sad all at once. It is also that precious rarity, a perfect comic.” Lev Grossman (The Magicians, The Magician King)

“A haunting, umbral, and surprisingly charming story, told with confidence and great skill. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.” Antony Johnston (Wasteland, The Coldest City, Umbral, The Fuse)

“I loved the feel of it, like an old-school faerie tale. Tight and well-written. A little mystery, a little humor, a little horror. It made me smile in places and get a little weepy in others. Everything I want in a story.” Patrick Rothfuss (Name of the Wind, Wise Man’s Fear, The Slow Regard of Silent Things)

“Art nouveau and steampunk with more than a hint of Bluebeard, PORCELAIN is a delightfully dark tale, stunningly told.” Mary Talbot (Dotter Of Her Father’s Eyes, Sally Heathcote Suffragette)
