The Lepidopters

The Lepidopters: Mandible One

Part one of a proposed three-part text by Mark von Schlegell.

The Lepidopters, Mandible One: Mind of the Moths has been made for a book, edited by Helen Hughes and Amelia Barikin, examining correlations between world-making in science fiction and contemporary art.

It has been drawn as a 24 page comic book by “Iwank” Erwan Hersi Susanto.

The comic nominally tells the story of an invasion of the Indonesian archipelago by alien moths, who plan to colonise Earth by engaging in inter-species reproduction.
