BORKOSHAVSKI COMICS

Welcome!

Hiiiiii :3 You've reached the one stop shop for all things related to the Archivist's Library AND Borkoshavski Comics! For those not in the loop, BC Comics was an organization founded in 2012, dedicated to preserving "The Starveil." It is best known for its "Memento Vivere" comic series, as well as for "The Archivist's Library," an archive of lost media from the Starveil. This website, as well as the BC Comics Twitter (I am NOT calling that shit L, Lionel's a fucking nazi), are managed by me! Evelyn Cross! But all the stuff you see is only here thanks to the contributions of a large team of archivists, artists, and programmers.

What Is Memento Vivere?

If you've founded yourself on this page, you probably have seen or heard of TAL's premiere project, Memento Vivere. But just what is it? Well, MV is a multimedia adaptation of Icarus Borkoshavski's breakout autobiographical graphic novel of the same name, that focuses on two teenagers: Opal Yazzie and Icarus Borkoshavski. Opal, a transgender woman with a disjointed memory finds herself at a school for superhumans, the Borkoshavski Academy, after a hunt for an elusive cryptid known as 'The Swamp God,' goes awry. When Opal meets Icarus, the somewhat overly affectionate son of two famed superheroes, the two develop a bond with one another.

As Icarus struggles with holding up to the expectations laid upon him by his well-meaning, but flawed, father, and Opal begins to madly obsesess over keeping her loved ones safe, the two discover that they are part of a much grander narrative, that takes place over the course of several years.

Memento Vivere is currently in its first of four chapters.

What Is The Archivist's Library

The Archivist's Library is a project managed by myself, and my partner, Lee, that focuses on archiving stories from all over the Starveil! (Our term for the now defunct multiversal subsystem that were connected to "The Mirrorplex.") If you want to contribute to the Archivist's Library, shoot me a message on Discord.
