Author Comment:
I learned a lot during my first foray into the comic book industry. I taught myself how to letter and process the pages of this project using Adobe Master Suite CS3. I was also very fortunate to have someone as talented as Douglas Draper working with me. Quick thematic note about the story: I've always been fascinated with the "jump" moment in horror movies where things go from "calm" to "bat-shit crazy" in less than 2 seconds and heavy moments of tension where the protagonist is knowingly facing his adversary but isn't capable of proving anything. I was trying to emulate these cinematic moments in this story by having something drastic happen between pages 7 and 8. I then furthered that intensity by really limiting the view of the reader on the final page. You'll have to order the book to see the rest!
