FOOTNOTE – once again, the inspiration for this story should not be underestimated. Without the ideas of so many other people it would never have happened at all. On a personal level, I am proud of this segment of ‘Eli’. I like to do things differently, to push boundaries and to stand out from the crowd. With this I feel that I may have succeeded – fourth wall stuff! I have written and read many, many blogs over the years and I have yet to have seen a post constructed purely from the pages of a comic or graphic novel (whichever you find more palatable!). I hope, therefore, that I have managed to create something new. It was jolly hard work I can tell you (with several days stretching into 3am) but I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. I hope you enjoyed reading it too 🙂


I am weirdly awaiting the next instalment 🧐😎 interesting stuff
Why thank you 🙂
Question – is the Tower Coin a Kew Gardens? Interesting story might are the other chapters available.
Thank you. Yes, the ‘Tower Coin’ IS Kew.
The other chapters are all in ‘Articles’ but are not graphic novel format – this part is the first like that.
‘a book for Eli’ is the first one to read 😉
Groundbreaking stuff, well done Mik!
Great images and captivating story line.
PS: hardly noticed the errors on plate ii (shipper must be a special kind of sniper) & plate vi (why just say it once when you can repeat it)!
Thank you Phil. Much appreciated mate 🙂
The perils of working late into the night I’m afraid lol.
Glad you enjoyed it.
