Written by Marc Moorash and Heather Stanley. Art by Heather Stanley. The fifth book of Polyglot and Spleen (A Night with the Elders part 3) concludes the two hundred year tale of the Stiny clan. At the helm of The Aereon, Darby and Dahlia (the Stiny patriarch and matriarch) along with four generations of their family and the last clan of Pegasi, move ever so southward to lands left to Darby by old friend Bernard Leroux. This book is a story of stories, including Dahlia's reminiscence of the circus, Figment the Pegasus' revelation of the tale of the birth of her children, a retrospective upon Darby's seventy seventh birthday, and the result of the reconnaissance of the Sonora Aero Club - all rolling into The Last Flight of the Lost Kind - a parable on what it is for the mythological to survive in our modern, and non-imaginative age. 52 pages, B&W. Cover price $3.99.
