Oni Press is billing it as ‘the most ambitious book (they) have ever published’.
It stands out as a fresh new example of the stylistic horizons that only a comic book could explore while, narratively, it presents a unique approach to exploring questions of meaning and existence
These are just a couple of the reasons why I was extremely excited to talk to Ray Fawkes about his new graphic novel, One Soul.
In 2005, an engineering school student named Angela Melick decided to put a collection of funny little comics she had sketched on looseleaf up onto the internet.
Melick had been drawing comics in one form or another for almost as long as she could remember, and she felt that pursuing an education in engineering shouldn’t be a reason to suppress her interest in that form of art.
It was lucky for us that Angela made the decision to find an outlet on the internet – that simple website collecting her quirky, autobiographical sketches on looseleaf became Wasted Talent, a hugely popular and extremely funny weekly webcomic that’s still updating, 5 years later.
