To the right you can see some pictures from the later episodes of the comic which, i'm glad to say, had better plots and storylines.

| Abaddon was my very first comic project, started in the summer of 2004 it ran till the end of the year and was circulated around my school as a way of bringing my art to a wider world. The comic contained two different comic strips. First was my strip, which i called Shadow World, the second was Jo's strip, which he called HellMouth. My strip focused on the post apocalyptic world of earth in the wake of a nuclear war set in the future. The main character, Tripp (seen below), is orphaned in the riots that followed the destruction and is lost in a barren wilderness with only his wits to survive. I only ever wrote 6 editions and i have only put 5 of them on the site though i will be putting the 6th up soon. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The comic itself was not amazing but had a large fan base a was greatly loved by many people dispite the totally hollow story lines of the first few editions. Production was stopped by two things: firstly the comic was costing more to make than i was making from the sale of it and i couldn't make them fast enough, secondly i had a lot of work to do that year to prepare my portfolio and that left little time for my comic.

| The picture to the left is my favourite cover of all. It depicts a space station orbiting the earth as the nuclear missiles launch and wipe | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| out the planet. I really loved the idea of the astronauts looking down and seeing the earth obliterated and not being able to do anything about it. Another reason i like this drawing so much is the realistic look it has compared to a lot of the other drawings. I allways put extra time into the covers, making sure they were dramatic and interesting. The picture above is a long stairway in issue 5 that leasds up into the heart of Alpha City, the great metropolis built on an active volcano. I loved the idea of Alpha City which was a great industrial city that was almost completely automated and was still functioning dispite the fact that a nuke had wiped out all the people. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
