Mr. Earth can move incredible distances in his improbable Distance Mover, a wondrous vehicle that reflects the fantastic world it traverses. He, and his young art-star protégée Mendel, explore culture-rich crystalline cities, challenge the mighty Council of the Misters, try to overcome the all-conquering Ooze, and much more! Distance Mover is a wonderful melange of genre and art. A high/low mixture that can be enjoyed as a straightforward adventure serial in the vein of Doctor Who or Flash Gordon, but it can also be enjoyed for its cutting edge art and cartooning. Kyle’s cartooning and mark making recalls fine art traditions and skillfully delineates the alien worlds of Distance Mover. His amorphous and panel-less pages perfectly portray the cosmic worlds explored. Originally self-published and hand printed by Kyle, Distance Mover is known for its daring and inventive use of color. This is continued in the collected version (originally published in installments from May 2012 to August 2013), which utilizes limited spot coloring, gilding and a unique paper stock. Kyle’s humorous and surreal sci-fi serial crosses artistic and genre boundaries. He reconfigures familiar tropes and images into a work that is perfect for genre enthusiasts, art lovers, and comic fans looking for something completely new.
