She sees one sheep
Typhon is too giant for the earth.
Down
I have done a great deal of research in the build up to turning this very strange and ancient tale into a graphic novel so that it is all based on history, (unless it was the morphine). Some of the research work helped me create the individual features linked to below:
The Handwritten text boxes titled Information Snippet add background details from the research work.
Yes this is what I have been busy with over the past months while in and out of hospital and beginning my long recuperation by the sea.
I came up with the idea of developing a graphic novel around a Greek myth earlier in the year and an independent publisher is now on board with an interest in hybrid publishing (that’s when you publish online and with a major distributor too).
It has been a dream for many years to do something with the quirky and strange Typhon and the terrible Zeus; their battle suited my online graphic novels perfectly.
We are probably a couple of hundred hours from the ‘for sale’ version, but I shall update here as pieces and text boxes are completed.
Please do share with friends as we will be asking for help shifting the finished product later in the year.
PS the first graphic novel from Viking Comics Inc. The Hammer Flies is almost ready for release as a slide show presentation – my first movie!
PPS Soon to become an epic poem, a poetess has commissioned me to illustrate.

My Seven Favourite books of all time
I’ve failed.
My friend Olivia challenged me to post a book a day on Facebook and what have I done? Posted them on WordPress.
I’ve failed again. She said I had to post one a day. I’ve done them all at once.
She said I had to pick seven. I’ve picked nine.
That’s another failure.
She said books. I’ve mainly picked series.
I am failing badly.
She said books. I chose a comic book (series).
Fails all the way.
I am supposed to nominate one person a day to keep the thing going. I have published them all at once.
Help me I failed.
You will have to nominate yourself. or share it to others. We have to keep this thing going. It is imperative to the continued growth of humanity. Share and nominate.
First off is the big cheat a comic book. Tin Tin, any Tin Tin.
I think my favourite must be this one; The Clan of the Cave Bear. I must have read the Earth Children’s series several times, so that makes it my favourite I guess.
The recording below might be considered a chapter spoiler, but it is also a really good bit. I’ve tried to leave it as a cliff hanger.
The Gap series is intriguing. No one in it is perfect. In fact just about everyone in it is horrid, but there will be a time when each one will have you cheering for them.
Kevin J Anderson is pretty good too. My son Luke says there are more deaths than in the Game of Thrones.
Luke tells me there is a follow up trilogy; The Saga of Shadows.
I needn’t write anything about this next one. My recordings tell it all.
I have written several prose poem blogs as a result of this one…
I could just say read anything by Terry Pratchett. No, read everything by him. I will say that if you haven’t read anything by the late great storyteller, keep at it. People often say they found one hard to get into. I don’t see it myself, but folks say that. Think it’s all the characters in the Disc World books. Here is a real departure in Nation. Totally different to all his other books. Mind you I will be introducing the Long Earth series a bit later down, and they are totally different to any book ever written, ever.
It is not sci fi or fantasy but it is set in slightly alternative reality where history happened a bit different.
Here is my storytellers bible. Well, for Norse stuff anyway. I get all my knowledge of the Norse belief system through this guy.
The Long Earth.
What a team.
If I was going to read Pratchett, this is where I would start…
