Well there it is. The cliff hanger for issue one. Funny story*: the first editions have a typo on this page. Instead of saying "you're" Rocbadger said "your", It was a great example for me to use in class on editing and checking your work properly. I'm pretty sure that year 5 class learnt the difference between "your and "you're" better than any class I had previously. Also, on a side note, the first time you have to draw your characters getting hurt is not easy!


*Funny not guaranteed.

I wish I could say I planned the recurring theme of life and stories being at odds but as I mentioned before the original script was different from the final copy. New dialogue just seemed to drop into Cara (my sister who lettered the comic) and my consciousness as we discussed lettering the pages. I'm really happy with the exchange between Ellie and Rob and Hood. Although Ellie starts her journey a bit timid she still has the courage to voice her opinion.

The first villains Ellie encounters aren't true villains. This is probably because I felt far too sympathetic towards them. Like many other throw away characters in The Adventurers they developed their own back story and I plan on meeting them again!
