CRIMSON QUAYS

Before the beekeeper arrived, the Crimson Quays was just a well-appointed tourist trap: a luxury travel resort replete with swimming pools, musical performances, and amusement park rides. However, the resort’s crowning glory—the very feature that drew the beekeeper to the island in the first place—was the zoo.

Although the beekeeper, a biologist by trade, was tasked with the construction of the zoo, he was rarely spotted at resort events. Instead, he spent his evenings chasing other zoological pursuits—specifically, he was attempting to crossbreed a new species of wolf that would thrive in the resort’s arid climate. The beekeeper’s odd behaviour went mostly unnoticed… until the night the animals got out.

Originally published in Globus Magazine as a serial comic, Crimson Quays was written by travel journalist Jonathan Bousfield and illustrated by celebrated comic artist Igor Haufbauer, creator of Mister Morgen. In Crimson Quays, Bousfield and Haufbauer reveal a nightmarish tale of human manipulation gone very, very awry.
