It looks as though the SolarPunk genre fits very well with the graphic novel format: last month we looked at ‘Solarblader’, the solarpunk graphic novel and this month we look at another: STRANGE BEDFELLOWS dreams of a romantic solarpunk future

Strange Bedfellows also draws inspiration from solarpunk, an underground artistic movement that attempts to envision a green and hopeful future free from the constraints imposed by the pressure to be constantly productive. Meridian is far from a utopia, however, as it takes a great deal of work to maintain environmental stability while also providing for the needs of a human population. As several characters close to Oberon and Kon know from firsthand experience, not even the best of intentions can guarantee success.

There have been several reviews of Strange Bedfellows by Ariel Slamet Ries:

“In this stunning graphic novel by two-time Ignatz award–winning graphic novelist Ariel Slamet Ries, Oberon must choose between fantasy and reality when he develops the ability to conjure his dreams in real life—including the facsimile of the boy who got away.”
