The lost SHELTER comic

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:02:17 +0100

Free comic! Tim Hulsizer and I worked on a story called HOME this year for the Trees & Hills anthology, SHELTER. Do to some time constraints, the story wasn't finished in time (Colin Tedford stepped in and illustrated the script in a marathan all-night session three days before the comic came out and I'm forever grateful to him for it. Buy the comic and check it out).

Well, Tim has posted the entire five-page comic - his version. Beautiful work and I'm glad it's finally out there.

It's a little story about a home that was owned, taken away, deserted, looted, love and then lost. And it was my latest practice in telling shorter comic stores with fewer words, a trick I picked up from Marek Bennett's mostly-wordless contributions to Trees & Hills anthologies.

The first page of the comic is below. The whole thing can be read at this link.
