Si Spurrier and Matías Bergara Unveil Epic Fantasy Series A Mischief of Magpies

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced A Mischief of Magpies, a groundbreaking fantasy journey from writer Simon Spurrier and artist Matías Bergara—the recipients of the Angoulême Sélection Officielle, GLAAD Award, and multiple Eisner nominations, whose previous collaborations include CODA, Step By Bloody Step, and The Spire. 

Debuting in April, this astonishing project revolves around Mar, a teenager who finds himself inexplicably transported to an extraordinary city, endlessly sailing a shoreless ocean. The city is built around a vast machine of two distinct halves: the bright, bustling spires above the waves, and the beast-haunted twilight halls below. Between them, playing on the beach, a troupe of anarchic magpies seems to have all the answers… but none of the questions.

Mar must navigate the dual extremes of this city-ship and the riddles posed by its bird-brained mediators, all while solving the true mystery: exactly why is he switching between his mundane life and this fantastical realm of dazzle and darkness?

Spurrier and Bergara’s newest collaboration builds on their legacy of pushing the limits of visual and narrative storytelling, bringing readers a fantasy masterpiece that spans sequential storytelling, prose, and illustration. A Mischief of Magpies will resonate with fans of The NeverEnding Story, Arcane, and The Boy and the Heron, featuring a relatable protagonist journeying into the unknown.

A Mischief Of Magpies features covers by Matías Bergara, Fabio Moon, and Bilquis Evely.
