Throwback Thursday: ‘Under Pale Flesh’ by Kris Sayer

Swordswoman, sequential artist, seamstress — and Pulp Lit staple — Kris Sayer explores the world, inspiring us with her have-sketchbook-will-travel ways.

Kris is an independent game developer, illustrator, graphic designer, and comic warrior. In the rare times she’s not drawing, she can be found making (often elaborate) costumes and self- studying swordplay (and spoonplay). She is the artistic-half of Dingo Games, the viking-half of Weald Comics, and a regular contributor to Cloudscape Comics.

Her work has been featured in eight issues of Pulp Literature (and, spoiler alert, a new piece is forthcoming in Issue 27). Here we bring you an excerpt from the sequential short ‘Under Pale Flesh’ from Issue 21, Winter 2019.

Kris Sayer has swam with dolphins, dove with sharks, hiked ’round “Mount Doom”, fixed a flat in The Outback, eaten a ridiculous amount of dumplings, and sketched more swords than you can shake an 11th-century-blade-with-questionable-origins at. In between all those things, she’s still made comics; You can read her other illustrated tales, over at wealdcomics.com, and find her past stories and illustrations in Pulp Literature Issues 1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, and 21.
