About This:
Meatcake is a neo-Victorian horror/humor/romance comic. Alternating between one-off (often cruelly tragic) fairy tales and ongoing romps starring her eclectic cast of characters, including Effluvia the Mermaid, the roguish roué Wax Wolf, Igpay the Pig-Latin pig, Stregapez (a women who speaks by dispensing pez-like tablets through a bloody hole in her throat), the mischievous Siamese twins Hindrance and Perfidia, Scampi the Selfish Shellfish, the stalwart Friend the Girl, and the blonde bombshell Richard Dirt, all delineated in her inimitable luxurious scrawl, Meat Cake is like a peek into the most creative, deranged dollhouse you ever saw (did we mention that Darcy is also a dollmaker whose work has been profiled in books on the subject?). Dame Darcy’s Meatcake Collection assembles, in hardbound and gold gilded edge luxury, over 50 stories, the very best from the first decade of the Meatcake comic – over 150 pages of wild and woolly comics.
