Note: Scorn is a 136 page graphic novel, text will not scale, recommend a viewer with at least 600x800 resolution. Recommended Teen+, due to brief nudity and graphic violence.
In a parody of the stereotypical fantasy world chalked full of the usual cast of characters, Scorn turns the archetypal tale on its head. It sets the reader into the shoes of the traditional antagonist, the bad-guy, and explores the idea that history is largely the viewpoint of the vanquisher.
His name is Scorn and he is war-chief of the Blackfang tribe. He is an orc, a savage, most certainly a cannibal, and one had best bend their neck to his decisions or risk their throat to his fangs. But he is noble, respected by his tribe, and leads his people in the harsh conditions of the reservation known as Gehinnom.
Along the journey we learn the savage and tribal ways of the orcs, reveal the fire that burns deep within the mountain and why it hates the dwarves so, expose those who really control the mind of men, and gleam the true nature of the elves. From the eye of the orc the answers are not as normally told.
Using the painterly style the illustrations spring to life in this beautifully drawn graphic novel.
