The Mare

“Not only a compelling story, but I found myself loving the controlled color palette of mostly black and white with splashes and highlights of blues and indigos.”

—Adam Fisher Diamond Bookshelf

“Martel’s debut is a visual spectacle in mostly black, brown, and white panels enhanced with washes of deep blues and occasional splashes of reds and golds. Gorgeously saturated spreads announce the chapter delineations. Indy’s nocturnal horrors are bathed in smoky, swirling cerulean, cobalt, azure tones. Martel’s artistry triumphs throughout.”

“Martel’s art is evocative and compelling, capturing supernatural intensity alongside nuanced character expression. Their lives are all the more gripping from his economical use of colors and haunting gray washes.”

—A. David Lewis, author of The Lone and Level Sands

“Centering conflicts both fantastical and mundane, Martel delivers a tale redolent in suspense and earned plot twists.”
