So lost and forgotten places has always been one of my favorite places for stories to happen. I also spent a lot of time as a college student sneaking into abandoned buildings. This story, about a small city being devastated by a wondrous but deadly technology they didn’t understand, has always stuck with me. After they disassembled it, the radioactive element was spread around by townsfolk enraptured by its strange glow. In the end, 249 people, three buses, forty-two houses, fourteen cars, and five pigs were contaminated. Scrap thieves snuck into a private radiotherapy institute and stole a teletherapy unit-a device for zapping cancer tumors. Partly from something called the Goiania Accident, which took place in Brazil in 1987. Where did you get the idea for this graphic novel? So basically it’s about loss, making art, hanging onto family, and getting away from monsters on a motorcycle. Addison supports herself and Lexa by sneaking into the Zone and taking photographs of the strange creatures and other phenomena left behind by the Spill. Her parents were lost in the Spill, and her little sister hasn’t spoken since (except for psychic exchanges with her creepy doll, Vespertine). It’s about a young woman, Addison, whose hometown and family were destroyed by a mysterious event three years ago.
