Limbo Lounge Bar Purgatory is a popular subject in books, movies, and TV. In his new book Limbo Lounge and the Lab Space exhibition by the same name, author and artist Dave Calver presents his take on the topic. The story follows Lou, a man who wakes up morphed into a giant flower in an unknown world. If that description seems odd to you, then buckle up — Limbo Lounge only gets weirder.

"Dave Calver was one of the most influential New York artists of the early 80's, springing from the same fertile creative scene of the 70's that had nurtured Blondie, The Talking Heads and The Ramones".

THE GOSH! AUTHORITY

"Purgatory is a popular subject in books, movies, and TV. In Limbo Lounge, author and artist Dave Calver brings his take on the topic to comics. Our story follows Lou, a man who wakes up morphed into a giant flower in an unknown world. If that description seems odd to you, then buckle up — Limbo Lounge only gets weirder".

BLEEDING COOL

"They say there are two places that no one can hear you scream: Space and Hell. Aside from sharing titles with a couple lacklustre Friday the 13 franchise movies, both are places you’d hate to end up when you’re dead, which is why Limbo exists".
