“Long Cold Winter is my second title for Mad Cave Studios. I care a lot about this story set in a dark and fragile future because it raises some reflections that concern all of us, as men and as citizens of the world. Today we inhabit planet Earth without awareness; we are distracted, we live overwhelmed by technology and progress and I believe it is necessary to return to taking care of ourselves and our relationship with the environment. I personally spent my childhood in the countryside; my grandparents taught me the value of respect for nature and I am thrilled to have been able to address this topic. Long Cold Winter is for those who love science fiction and westerns. It may seem like a cruel story (and maybe it is) but it carries with it a message of hope.” – Writer, Francesca Perillo

“When drawing Long Cold Winter, I was inspired by Sergio Leone’s films, spaghetti westerns, and George Miller’s Mad Max (which I really like!). I tried to emphasize the movement and action of the story by alternating close-ups with long shots. The frequent changes of setting help the reader to perceive the slow (and painful) journey of the two protagonists who cross metropolises, deserts and small villages full of dust.” – Artist, Stefano Cardoselli
