  ROMO the WolfBoy

  200pp / Limited palette full-colour / All Ages action-adventure and character comedy with undertones of mild spooky horror.

  ROMO the Wolf Boy and his partner and guardian FRANCIS X will become formidable criminologists and investigators of the paranormal. But not yet, for this is only their first adventure. It tells of how they met as part of a late Victorian-era (1890s) travelling circus.

  A creative and free-form mix of text and illustration with comic strip, in the tradition of Max and Moritz by Wilhelm Busch, and THE TOOTHACHE (Horace Mayhew with George Cruikshank): prime influences include Tintin and Asterix, early newspaper comics and graphics, plus Posy Simmonds’ Gemma Bovery.

  The first volume in a planned series.
