This is a project we have done for a new Turkish comics anthology magazine titled "Strip". First issue containing the very first chapters of "Glitter-girl" and "Faith Ltd." hit the shelves on October 2004.

Pretending to be two completely different features in first issue (Glitter-girl's lighthearted teenage adventure against Faith Ltd.'s grim and apocalyptic vision) the stories get closer by time and by the third chapter are completely superposed, turning to be one sequential story divided into chapters by two artists. The first adventure was completed by the 6th issue of Strip magazine with a total of 92 pages. 4 short stories of total 32 pages are already on stock. Also there are some stories still on production.

Main concept is existence of two extremely different environments divided by a deadly gas cloud surrounding entire surface of the planet.
Each environment/level has a way of life that is totally unaware of the other. Above the cloud, shiny and wealthy settlements built over huge columns are like hovering mirages. Prosperous and soft-hearted (!) citizens of high technology (especially biotechnics and genetics) have no intention of exploring outer space or what’s down below. They really don't care. Virtual reality and their newly appointed mascot Glitter-girl occupies all their time.
Below the cloud is a complete wasteland. No sunshine, no food and no law (except the one of survival) only ruins of long lost cities and spaceships that never took off. And between the debris, monumental concrete columns are rising to the violet clouds. Only a few can survive in a landscape like this; mutants, cannibals, some self-sufficient machines like cyborgs from an ancient war… and a store which can offer anything to this miserable lot; Faith Limited.
