Quality Craftsmanship in Graphic Novels

A Graphic Novel You Can Feel Before You Even Read It 

36 pages. Full colour. Litho printed.  

One creator. Fifteen years.  

Every panel drawn, coloured, lettered, and designed in‑haus.

Issue 11 continues the tradition:

• Quality paper stock

• Hand‑built design

• Playlists, quotations, and mood‑pieces

• Signed & wax‑sealed editions for collectors

This is a book built to last.

“Firstly — and this matters — it’s beautifully printed on quality paper stock that smells incredible. (Yes, this is for the people who sniff paper in art shops and stroke the textures of drawing pads. You’re among friends.) Each issue contains 24 pages of full‑colour artwork, plus additional pages of quotations, film lists, and music playlists compiled by Hroge and mysterious design collaborator Esther. These aren’t throwaway extras — they act as subtle indicators of influence and mood, pulling the whole thing into a cohesive, sophisticated design package. It’s the kind of detail that tells you serious thought has gone into building a world for the reader to enter. In its modest way, it echoes the conceptual ambition of the original Watchmen issues — each one a standalone design object — or the way Vaughan Oliver shaped entire atmospheres for 4AD albums.”
