I usually post a chapter a week but recently have been a tad busy. Normal service will resume shortly.

Love your work. It’s time consuming during an age of chicks taking selfies. Great appreciation for the arc of storytelling on a literature scale, and then the level of detail in the art.. the rope work and especially the look in the eyes of the captives

Thank you. It is a labour of lovd inspired by 1930's British boys adventure stories, vintage cliffhanger serials and pulp covers from the early 20th century.

Just wondering what color hair, suit and tie do Barrington and Charlie have?

I always imagine Barrington having Brown hair with a slight reddish tinge and greenish blue eyes. Suit wise he often goes for dark blue or grey suits with a blue and white tie. Charlie has jet black hair and dark brown eyes. His suit options are usually dark brown or black.
