CAKE DEBUT: The Ruins: Part One by Amara Leipzig

Born into the wilderness, she can find no other life, yet is surrounded by the artifacts of its existence: the ruins. She struggles to survive, make sense of her world, and understand why she is there. This is a story about how we create logic and how we use language as much as it is a mystery.The Ruins: Part One debuting at CAKE is the first half of this novel-length comic. It combines the prologue and first two chapters, previously released as self-published minicomics, into one volume with an additional 50+ pages.
