Josh Wagner | Fiction Clemens

Published: November 17, 2008

Josh Wagner introduces his new protagonist, the laconic Fiction Clemens, in a series of three graphic novels, published from May-August. In a bizarre world, mournful Clemens (considered “a shot” by both fans and foes) tangles with the maniacal Tiberius Kitchens.

The first novel, published in May, ends with Clemens surviving his brush with Tiberius, but destined to meet the villain again as our hero finds himself in the middle of an alien conspiracy to drag his Old West world into the Space Age. The two subsequent novels debuted in July and August. “A futuristic western meets Alice in Wonderland or perhaps Oz, and that really doesn’t do the overall insanity of the book justice,” writes Newsarama. “There’s nothing quite like Fiction Clemens on the market.”

Wagner roams the West with his dog and camper, but considers Missoula "home." His published works also include the novel, The Adventures of the Imagination of Periphery Stowe, and several short stories.

The book was illustrated by Joitan Medina Barciulli and Alejandro Marmontel, and published by Ape Entertainment, San Diego, Calif.
