I haven't given this comic much love because it wasn't finished, but this is a oneshot I worked on around the turn of the year called "Tartarus". Tartarus is loosely connected to FB, a speechless story set in a remote corner of Hell belonging to Halphas, oversized stork man and great Earl of hell. The story revolves around one of Halphas' many soldier underlings, surviving in the wastes as he endures hunger, being shot at, and avoiding the other mysterious dangers that lurk beneath the grey sky. This one was mulling around in my head for a handful of years. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get my hands on my usual manuscript before I finally ran out, forcing me to leave the rest to be worked out some other time. Maybe i'll return to this one, or start something new, for now i'm not sure. Enjoy.
