Drake’s Journey to the Underworld

Description

This all-new story takes a wry look at the modern world encroaching on Drake, who now feels himself to be an old relic and out of step with society. He is beaten up and taunted by young people in society and alienated from the joys of shopping. Despite this, the forces of monopoly capitalism embrace Drake as one of their own, and heÕs recruited by the mysterious King Shop to serve time in the Iron Mall, a new shopping development. Simultaneously the agencies of the underworld, as epitomised by streetwise kid ÒMorÓ, drag Drake into their subterranean world, eventually transforming him into a flying demon. DrakeÕs Dog, aloof from all of the action, observes life from the safety of his lair in the cloud.

This storyÕs got everything…violence, urban decay, flying devils, mobs running riot in the streets, supernatural dark forces, an overpowering television presence in the sky, and ubiquitous mobile phones. Only Drake can see whatÕs really going on, or so he thinks. Here we see the sense of doubt.
