THE STORY

WELCOME to the prison-like city of KOWLOON. A cluster of conjoined buildings run by gangs where the ability of an individual to hope is non-existent. DANIEL, JIN and ARIANA are three kids who defy this life sentence. They intend to escape and are willing to go to EXTREME measures to do so. Since escape on foot is impossible, their quest leads them to the SKY.

THE CAST

DANIEL – Smart and gifted but unfocused. On the fast track to be a squandered genius, his lack of interest in academics leads to conflict with his father. He is an angry child. Even at this age you can tell the city has damaged him in some way. He is the driving force of the group.

JIN – A brilliant gear head he spends the vast majority of his time in the city’s junkyard. He experiments with his own designs and creations. His dad died in a racing accident and combined with an overprotective mother resulted in his very reserved personality.

ARIANA –Emotionally strong and pragmatic her childhood has been derailed into a life of helping her father run a convenience store. She has no social life to speak of and when she joins the group it is the first time she gets to be a kid again since her mother passed away. She soon emerges as the rock that supports the trio when times get hard.

CITY OF WALL FACTS # 1


CITY OF WALLS FACTS

Twice a week or so I will give a fun fact about our comic book City of Walls. It will be about creation or write or just an interesting thing to know.


CITY OF WALLS FACT:

Later issues of City of Walls take more a dramatic emotional turn. It was very influenced by Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead Vol. 9: Here We Remain. It contains very emotional scenes with Rick’s son Carl. Like Jin, Daniel and Ariana he has to learn to deal with adult situations at quite a young age. And he has periods where he acts very mature for his age, mixed in with the overwhelmingly frightening emotions that a child would have to horrible situations. It opened my eyes to the range of feelings that kids could experience and how it affects the reader.
