True Travel Tales 1

The best stories happen on the road!

Two days after the end of high school I left on my first backpacking adventure, and ever since I've been a compulsive traveler. Over the years I've gathered a large number of travel stories, both of my own and those of friends, fellow travelers, and random strangers.

TRUE TRAVEL TALES is a comic book anthology of the best of these real-life travel adventures, with stories of Mexican lizard gods, sex in ancient temples, punk rockers on fire, accidental cliff-diving, and more.

A Sacred Text

"A Sacred Text" is my first comic book. It is a 48 page one-shot graphic novel with a full-color cover and black-and-white interiors. It won the Xeric Award grant for September 2001. I wrote the script after seeing the Dead Sea Scrolls in their museum outside Jerusalem. The scrolls are biblical manuscripts sacred to a Hebrew cult that lived by the Dead Sea during the time of the Roman occupation, and were hidden in caves for around two thousand years before coming to light in 1947. Immediately after seeing the scrolls I went to a café in Jerusalem and wrote the first draft of "A Sacred Text." I spent the next year transforming that into a graphic novel.

The story deals with Nkota, an escaped slave of the great Thesanyi Empire, who is seeking to return to his homeland. On his way, he comes across the Qumari, a mysterious religious community hidden deep in the desert. He discovers a profound connection with the people there, and ultimately must play a crucial role in their destiny.

The comic is set in a fantasy world to provide myself more thematic and narrative flexibility, but is inspired by the first question I had upon seeing the Dead Sea Scrolls; namely, who hid them in the caves and what was his story?
