Black Mercury Trevor R Fairbanks

EARTH has a disease! Its called HUMANITY! Enter the Lord of Lightning, a wayward Godling desperate to lose his virginity. But on this world of suffering he discovers that INFECTION can kill anyone. BLEAK line-work by Eric C. Harrison illustrate the DISMAL words of Trevor R. Fairbanks in BLACK MERCURY, an experiment in spontaneity of image/word association. To create Black Mercury, Eric C. Harrison sent one or two raw illustrations to Trevor R. Fairbanks by email. As Trevor received the illustrations, one or two at a time, he looked into each one for inspiration. He allowed each image point his mind and guide his words and created a page of text for each. Black Mercury became an entity of its own creation by putting both artist and writer in a position of not knowing what to expect. The story became its own thing and though their hands were involved - it was out of the control of artist and writer to anticipate the final outcome.
