On his journey, he is eventually thrust into a grander situation, becoming the target of dominating forces and a mysterious prophecy. We, as readers, share in the survival of the protagonist, a one-eyed thief Orc, with a knack for hitting pressure points with his hammer. They have savage instincts, but with a bizarre sense of logical direction that collectively evolve, which develops into a world as imaginative as futuristic sci-fi lit. Concepts of good and evil need not apply, as purpose and necessity are more apparent to the survival of the orc inhabitants. Here the resources and surroundings in orc life are complex, organized into necessity for such creatures to survive and exist. But in the world of Orc Stain, we see a contrasting, truthful lifestyle, a more independent environment of the orc: much of it filled with otherworldly dwellings, gargantuan creatures, and dangerous vegetation. Within lies the creator’s interpretation of the orc, familiar in too much fantasy literature as mindless, savage beasts, often in the service of a greater evil. Orc Stain: Volume 1 by James Stokoe delivers a fantasy world like no other, perfected in the sequential art form. Here is the very reason I enjoy reading comic books: to be enveloped in an unfamiliar universe, where certain elements occasionally rip and rebuild the foundations of the imagination!
