The book’s main character, Henry Henry, is an aspiring novelist, who works as a translator to make ends meet, yet early on we see even in translations, Henry can’t stop from “making improvements”. From the book’s opening epigraph – “To open with an epigraph is to declare oneself an echo” – straight into a text-only 9 panel grid decrying the overuse of that structure in comics, and the over reliance on the lessons of Watchmen, Fearscape’s self-aware ability to undercut potential criticism is extraordinary. The actual plot points – impossibly arrogant literary plagiarist uncovers the mystical realm of fiction’s greatest Fears – don’t really do the style and voice justice.
