Every so often a Tony McGee comm-booklet I've had a real difficult agreemement in liking. This is awkward as straight narrative, working as conveying emotion though. As with the rest of the 'frontiers' pieces, it is viewable as stand-alone and places the characters in a difficult or hostile environment and rising. The serials banded phrase "something is coming" arises at climax and brings in a case of hope perhaps optimism for the victim characters. This comm-booklet has pictures on both sides of the pages delicately added to, over a period of time and built solid.
A difficult issue this, I was drawing The Right Girl at the same time and it all got rather schizophrenic, hence the large gap between issues. Also it was my first real attempt at narrative, but the device of the recorder proved rather clunky. The original premise of 'how do you hide from a telepath' got a little lost, but it serves its purpose of fleshing out the back story of Day and the telepaths. Some nice art in this issue though, my first big experiment in borderless panels, which I revisited in #6 and Island.
