Heh... I've a similar response, however, I've both questions and comments to add to it.
Sadly, I don't think I can ask most of those questions with much success, as far as answers are concerned...
Like, who was the creature that wanted to kill him, and why... also, what were the words on the tombstone, before, "Long gone, long forgotten." And... well...
I best not waste too much text.
It's really well written.
Have you ever considered writing anything other than comics?
I might add a bit of advice, but perhaps only because I personally try to avoid doing this thing when I write... people don't tend to mind when they're reading, though.
In either case, it kinda petered out towards the end, probably while you were getting more into the writing and words.
'Twas a good starting.
I liked how it worked into the plot, though now I wish I knew where the plot went, from here. '=J
