About Spoon & Packet

An original comic book adventure written and illustrated by Philip Marion. A mix of comedy, history, and cutlery.

A table spoon and a packet of sugar are the unlikely heroes of the Terrible Tales trilogy - a Dantean journey from a 1950's diner through the underworld of the Inferno to the center of the Earth in search of ancient truths.

Along the way they'll meet an enlightened lab rat, a brave corkscrew, a Renaissance painter, the Lord of the Flies, and many more colorful characters. Great for all ages.
