The Lost Sunday
The Lost Sunday is an Eisner nominated comic book about working too much, told through stories and inspiration from old folklore, myths and tales. It’s a very dear project to me, and it was also based on my own experience with burnout.
Nina lives in a dusty town, haunted by the six angry wolves of the week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day brings never-ending chores, and no one can rest until they are done. Legend speaks of a seventh, kinder wolf, but everybody knows an evil witch stole it and keeps it locked away. But Nina has had enough, so she sets on an ambitious quest – go to the forgotten realms, vanquish the witch, bring back Sunday and enough free time for everyone.
The French edition was published in 2021 by Les Aventuriers de l’étrange.
The print run for the first Romanian and English edition was funded through a campaign on Kickstarter, organized with the help of Pronoia (Laura Bularca) and Maria Surducan. You can see some elements used and you can check the whole campaign here.
The trailer for the book was made by Alex Böjthe.
