These are two pages
from an original comic book called "Baba Where You Been?"
which was created in 1987. It's a fantasy-laden story concerning
high school kids dealing with moral dilemmas of epic proportions.
It's typical adolescent issues root it in reality, yet its atypical
supernatural elements give it a very dark foreboding atmosphere.
Darren Wheeling and Thom Shepherd, who co-wrote and co-illustrated
the work, were about to graduate from high school in 1987 so
the story's mix of anxiety and nostalgia reflects their moods
and feelings about their own future at the time. Thankfully real
life has not followed the arc of the comic book story. It may
possibly show up in Black Egg Theatre one day so bookmark this
site and check back. |
