DOWNTOWNE (9)

We are pleased to present DOWNTOWNE, a 10-part series featuring illustrations and accompanying text from an as-yet unpublished middle-grade illustrated novel, Henry Hudson and The Nethermen, written and drawn by HILOBROW friend Bradley Peterson.
The thing that would soon be a Thing began the preparations. Centuries of experience had taught it that it was necessary to alter its appearance to be viewed in such a way that would prevent the witnesses of its arrival from running away screaming. And though it could be entertaining for the Thing, it was hardly productive for anyone involved.
