PicaTowers
TradeMark:-
Pica Towers is dark, dirty and windy. It's a black and white nightmare world of savage cruelty, tales of mystery and horror in the Apartment Building from Hell, where the characters are doing unspeakable things to one another. Appealing not in the Family Fun Hour sense, nor the Saturday Morning Cartoon sense, but oddly shocking and funny.
