This Saturday May 6th isn’t just Free Comic Book Day, it’s also the Curious Comic Con 2017 down/up/over in Nanaimo BC! I’ll be there with some lovely available-only-in-dead-tree-form books like Trolls and The Corpse Door (4! The final version!) along with titles you may recognize like Nameless and Blood in Their Mouths (a small collection of short horror stories). Come check it out if you’re in the area – it’s free and filled with great comics!
This is the old, first version of this tale. I’ve now done four versions (the 2nd one is longer with better artwork, the 3rd one has better-better artwork, different panels and is slightly animated in a black humour fashion, and the forth one is AWESOME on all fronts, and is only available in print; it still features viking zombies, but there’s some big changes in it!)
This comic kind of defined my entrance into comics. I made it as a challenge to myself, and submitted it to Gurukitty’s Ghost Tales Comic Anthology. It got in (woohoo) and then every few years or so I would go back to it and redo it. I’m finally happen with version #4, which will go online maybe in 2018? (You can get it in print now if you so wish.) Until then, please enjoy version 1. And 2. And 3.
During the Viking Age, various types of trolls lived alongside humans – and one troll tracker knows all about them (maybe). This comic-guidebook-of-sorts provides a look into the world of trolls, from the powerful Jötnar, to the stubborn Gildigífr, to the foul, foul Brunnmigi. Just remember to read all the presented information with a grain of salt – after all, this is ‘An Incomplete and Likely Inaccurate Bestiarum Vocambulum About Trolls According to Totra Þórgríma Hrímhildarsdóttir, Otherwise Known as Tatterhood’.

At the last minute I decided I wanted something new for TCAF and VanCAF 2016 – and thus Trolls was born!

One thing I struggle with is contrast – what looks right on my monitor looks too light on my phone, too dark on my other monitor, and way too dark when printed*. Hopefully when you view this page, the blood isn’t too dark for you.
*Though I change my files for printing so they don’t end up being dark – you can see for yourself in person this Sunday! I’ll be at Canzine Vancouver Sunday, November 5, 2017 from 1-7pm at the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts. Free, fun, full of goats and vikings. I’ll have Trolls, Corpse Door, Nameless, Blood in Their Mouths, free mini-minis, and a big ol’ smile! See you then!
