Voodoo Forest gathers roughly ten years of John Blanche’s work into a final, edited sequence. The selection feels private rather than encyclopedic. Images follow their own internal weather: ritual, pressure, humour, dread. The tone stays controlled and unsentimental.

The complete content was previously presented as the exhibition “Within the woods” at Lucca Comics & Games 2022 (curated by Tiziano Antognozzi). In book form, the work slows down. Repetition becomes structure. Each page acts like a fixed frame, keeping the drawings intact as documents.

Hollow Press issued this second printing (July 2023) as a limited edition of 2,000 copies. Production choices are explicit: A4 format, 96 pages, offset black-and-white printing, stitched binding, and a canvas hard cover with black hot-foil. The book is printed on Fedrigoni Ivory Smooth 160g, chosen for clean tonal range and sharp linework.
