Praise for The List*, Vol. 1 now available from www.the-list.com.au (paypal) and a growing list of stores:
(*Warning: Recommended for Mature Readers. The List contains Frequent Strong Violence, Course Language, Dark Themes, Horror, Nudity):

“…I'm afraid that I won't be able to review The List as the material appears to be too disturbing for me to read.” Paperbackreader.com (quote based on synopsis)

"The List is a groundbreaking work that shows a strong grasp of the medium to create a graphic novel that will have you riveted from the first panel." Inpress.

“Don't expect an easy ride. The List is pretty dark stuff...The art is easily some of the best I've seen in any independent title, being a heavy, oppressive, 2 colour work, with a lot of atmosphere and as such, fits the nature of the writing perfectly… The language and artwork are quite beautiful”. Comics Village.com

“This level of craftsmanship is rare in new creators…The art in this book is decidedly above average for the small press...different and inventive...manages to avoid most of the storytelling traps that ruin a lot of other similar works...This first issue ends on a heck of a cliffhanger.” Friday Mad Science

“...bloody good stuff - moody, thought-out, well-drawn and compelling, not to mention slickly presented. I'd recommend anyone pick this up!” Ian T.

“…a legacy of religious fanaticism and violence…hooked me enough to remain on the look out for number two.” David Carrol. Asif.com (Aust. Literature Review Site)

Format: 48 pages, Std TPB size, B&W, Offset Printed, Perfect Bound, 250gsm Card Cover, 100gsm high gloss pages. Price: $13.00 (Aust) includes free Angel Badge, Stickers and Bookmarks:

Blurb:
A typical suburban family is visited by an Arch Angel, who presents them with their birthright, The List, in exchange for the life of the Mother. The Mother agrees to be sacrificed, knowing the family will be held in high esteem by God for doing so. With the Mother dead, the Angel bequeaths The List to the Father, who embarks on his quest. The story opens with his return, seeking his promised reward (Enlightenment – a knowledge gained only by suicide). Before this, however, he passes The List down to his Son, who, like his Father, has the Commandments tattooed upon his torso before embarking on his own "holy" quest…

The List will dare its readers to traverse some of the darkest mental territory ever put to print in a Graphic Novel. An original, meticulously structured, inventive work that treats its readers with respect, The List is not for the faint hearted. Check out the level of workmanship in the galleries. This is a serious work created by passionate artists seeking an intelligent, appreciative reader.

Hey Wayne,

The Add was my pleasure.

Listen, I see you're open for commissions at the moment. I have left you an email at your gmail account regarding a couple of my writing projects.

Love your work.

Cheers,

Paul.

It'll be in available in the UK soon if you happen to live there).

Thank you so much ObecomingX!

I am the author of the book, but I will certainly show you comments to Henry, the talented artist that I consider very happy to have aboard.

Volume 2 will be out soon(ish) and at the moment I am adapting my script into a screenplay.
