Lost Without You

"We're looking at the same sun but from the other side." -Michael Oakley, California

Neon galaxy, sector 1983; date unknown. An alien wakes up in a corner of the universe with severe amnesia: he can't remember his origins, his purpose, nor destination. There's only one clue: a female apparition only he can see, begging to come find her.
With the self appointed name Lost, our protagonist soars the deep space hopping from planet to planet in search of her beautiful and mysterious SilverMane. He'll meet friends and foes, like the young troublemaker Glimmer and Flatline, a space-soldier with his own agenda; piece by piece Lost will discover more details of his past... some of which will be hard to accept.

Lost Without You is a scifi retrowave comicbook saga by authors M.Lock (story, pencils, inks) and Valyce Negative (colours, after effects). It's a love letter to the 1980s we all remember with its movies, adventures, visuals and colours; filled with nostalgic influences, the pages of its volumes display a story in typical retrowave fashion, mixing balloons and VHS effects, a real saturday morning cartoon in paper form.
Dive into the adventures of Lost and friends in a journey that will take you... to the end of the universe!

Issue 0: Lost Without You

First edition published in December 2016.
Lost's debut is from a short experimental comic by M.Lock conceived as a "demo reel" for the soon-to-be-released project; it introduces the main characters of the story and gives a bit of extra prologue. Though not needed in order to enjoy the rest of the plot, it does give additional info on Lost's first steps into the world of graphic novels.
The volume is fully available online for free; a printed limited edition, now out of stock, has been distribuited at the italian comic convention Cartoomics 2017.
