Full publication design of a limited, and oversized hardcover edition collecting the bestselling MAZEBOOK series from New York Times bestselling and Eisner award-winning creatorJeff Lemire (Netflix's Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer, Gideon Falls).
Bringing the Mazebook to life through design, the publication features a cloth cover with embroidery, foil stamping, a color ribbon and gilding, signed tip-in plate and a rich backmatter section featuring illustrations by guest artists and Jeff's notes on the creation of Mazebook.
The story A lonely building inspector still grieving the loss of his puzzle-loving daughter receives a mysterious phone call one night from a girl claiming it’s her and that she’s trapped in the middle of a labyrinth. Convinced that this child is contacting him from beyond this world, he uses an unfinished maze from one of her journals and a map of the city to trace an intricate path through a different plane of reality on an intense and melancholy adventure to bring his daughter back home.
The maze, and the red thread that weaves through the story becomes the main visual motif, literally wrapping around the book — weaving a path that reflects the narrative journey of the protagonist.
This caps the creative journey we embarked on when I joined Jeff and Dark Horse to develop the publication design, logo and visual identity for the landmark series.
