What if there really was a Garden of Eden - a place with a history before the first people we know of? A civilization cursed and banished underground for breaking their own commandment to live in balance with the Earth.

When an evil coal operator discovers that the "sacred" carbon can burn forever, he will sacrifice the land and the people to extract the full deposit. When he awakens and releases a hell the surface world cannot imagine, the only thing that stands in the way of the ecological disaster, is a disgraced, ex-pro baseball pitcher and a community of courageous coal miners.

CARBON is a supernatural horror story intertwined with environmental issues so timely they appear to come from the day’s headlines, just barely scratches the surface of CARBON. Set in the southern West Virginia coalfields, CARBON is dedicated to “those that toil in darkness - coal miners” and it is said that whatever side of the debate over the industry you fall on, miners are the often unseen heroes.

“Danny Boyd’s Carbon combines three distinct genres- Lovecraftian gorefest, religious picture book and political allegory- to tell the story or our slow and conscious self-poisoning” - Director John Sayles, from his introduction.

“Carbon is a great sci-fi adventure, with some serious political and economic themes running just below its surface. Boyd has crafted a story that manages to entertain and make you think without being too didactic or preachy and he still leaves you wanting more.” - Popcult Bookshelf.

“Boyd marries sci-fi monster flick ideas with Appalachian tragedy, showing us imaginative allegory and authentic profundity do not have to be mutually exclusive.” - Chris Oxley, Ain’t it Cool News.

“This graphic novel’s tale is a self contained piece of world building, loaded generously with imaginative flair and yet still grounded in reality like the wise Aesop born anew.” - Richard Caldwell, Heavy Metal Magazine.

“…explores humanity’s exploitative relationship with nature that is heartfelt, intimate, and totally outrageous!”- Scott Marcano, screenwriter of BioDome and Sanitarium.
