One of my favorite things about these panels is the star that changes position. Johanna could’ve just shown the passage of time with seasons and Eliza getting older, but the star moving just nails it.

Somewhere the band Slayer feels satisfied with that number…
Its a great number, but man letz double that baby so Johanna doesn’t sell my kidneys.
A quadrupedal dreamcreature with a cosmic hide and a tentacled head lumbers through the protectorate town surrounding the somnotorium. The runes on the doors are what keeps it from considering entering interesting. However anything not protected by runes is subject to be the playing grounds of the monsters, and the tired citizens are left to patch up the scratches and pick up the rubble the next day.
Being that is it a labyrinth of dream-cast monsters, anything can appear from the depths. Sometimes terrifying and otherworldly-- sometimes ridiculous. An octopus merged with a kelpie and a massive crab with sharks for claws bursts from the giant golden doors. But silly as some might be, they are all one thing: incredibly DANGEROUS.
Locked in the shrine, the wizards sleep, as their dreams plague the waking world. 💤
Parents! Looking to get your budding adventurer into tabletop games? SLEEPING WIZARDS has a fantastic YA story to get them into as a good intro setting everyone will also enjoy! ⚔️

This comic is short (>100 pgs) so the paperback only costs $12!!
The good news is that’s a STEAL for an OGN!!
The downside is that it’ll take more backers for every creator involved in this project to be paid what they’re worth 🙏
If you haven’t already, please consider supporting this project!
Eliza remembering her father, and her confidence and resolve renews

We’re so close to hitting the halfway mark, please help us spread the word and reach our funding goal!! 🙏

Eliza waits and waits for the return of her father, or at least his body. But as the years go by and no sign of the infamous and recognizable Cochran turns up, the hope turns to obsession, and eventually... to action. But as the number of casualties from the maintenance and infiltration of the Sleeping Wizards' Shrine build in number, can she find the truth on her own, let alone just get inside? Sleeping Wizards is heading toward 50% with over 400 backers! We'd love to have you add to this army! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/sleeping-wizards?ref=1sztuj
After her father disappeared in the line of duty clearing the Sleeping Wizards' shrine of monsters, Eliza has waited,
and waited,
and waited for her turn.
But with the dangers within, one must be chosen in order to enter.
Or just be good at breaking in🔦🪜

Did I mention this graphic novel is only $12 to back the physical copy??
That’s a STEAL for how much incredible work has gone into making this book!!
