Hi Folks,
I've been working on my webcomic for 15 weeks now (it's a slow process as I only upload one new page a week - although completing one page a week is pretty good going for me!). I'm hoping it'll be of interest to some folks on here, and obviously I'd like to reach as many folks as possible, so if you like it please share. Also, if you know anyone who might review such things on the internet, I'd be eternally grateful if you could pass it on or post some details here.
At the very least, enjoy a few pages of free comics. Link below.
I'm hoping to put together a print version when it's finally completed.
Cheers,
Chris.

Dagon meets ET, I very much like the looks of this!
And the art is gorgeous!
Very enjoyable indeed.

Hah, glad that you picked up on that Hawkmumbler. I was very much looking for a 'Walt Disney adapts Lovecraft' vibe. Initially, at least.
Nice Chris, I have liked you art for a while, and although I'm not a webcomicy reader, I do hope this is a runner and it gets collected in some form. Very interesting.
Really nice art, moody lighting, layouts and lettering are set out really well, great pacing - I'll have to keep checking this going forward!
Looking forward to seeing where this is going.
A page a week is awesome for that kind of quality of art and storytelling :) I'll be sharing this with a few friends. Great work!
Been following from the start. Lovely work Chris. Do you plan on printing a collection at the end, or...?
Very atmospheric, with the potential to become rather haunting. (I like it when U'grot sings.)

Yes Darren, hoping to have a print version further down the line!
Thanks for all the kind comments, folks!
While i'm in these parts, just thought i'd give this thread a quick bump. I'm now 40 pages into my webcomic, and pleased that I've managed to keep it going apart from the odd hiccup. You can pick it up from page 1 by following the link. The endgame should soon be coming into view, and there will be a print copy when the tale is all told.
Greatly appreciate all views, comments, shares, etc...

Great work chris - I went to check out the art and stayed for the story...all 40 pages! Nice creepy vibe and I like the B&W coloring. I could be wrong but I don't trust the U'grot(s!)...
Thanks for the comments Rogue Judge - glad you enjoyed it!
Just a brief update to this thread, as i completed the entire webcomic a few weeks back and it's all still available to read on Tumblr.
I'm now aiming at producing a print version, and have just launched my first Kickstarter to get some funds in. I'd gratefully appreciate it if you folks would take a moment or two to take a look at my project, and back it if you feel you can. Link below.

pledged- and glad to, as well. I've held off on reading this till it was completed and now I'm glad i did.
Payday soon, Chris, as soon as it's upon me a pledge will be heading your way. Truly brilliant webcomicery that everyone here should jump on.
Backed!
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed this immensely, and I too will be pledging once payday comes around. Great work, Chris!
Thanks for all the kind words, and for those who have backed or are planning to back.
Currently at 82% of my target and only 2 days in, so going pretty well so far.
Cheers guys!
Pledged ;)
Just wanted to post a quick update here as, since last time, my Kickstarter target has been reached and then some! And there's still 25 days to go. So it looks like this thing is definitely happening!
