A Box Labelled Sociopath - A Graphic Short


A couple of years ago I attempted to get a graphic novel project off the ground with the help of fantastic artist Niño Harn Cajayon. After several months of hard work it was clear that it was not going to be financially achievable to tell the story I wanted to tell (which I had originally planned to run as long as ten volumes), so I started working on the project as a novel.

That novel is 'Ten Tales of the Human Condition', and it's nearly finished, but I didn't want to let the work on the original incarnation of the story go to waste. I'm proud to present the first 10 pages of the proposed graphic novel as a visual accompaniment (and a prequel of sorts) to 'Ten Tales', entitled 'A Box Labelled Sociopath'.


Please take a look at (and download) the graphic short HERE.

TEN TALES OF THE HUMAN CONDITION

'Christopher Morgan, a sociopathic drug-addicted New York lawyer has an unfaithful wife, and worse still, she is conducting her affair with Christopher's best friend and work colleague. Fed up with his life and everybody within it, Christopher puts together a twisted scheme to punish those he thinks of as responsible for the downfall of his once perfect existence. He embarks on an exploration of the human condition, putting together the pieces of the human psyche and evaluating the reasons for his monumental vices. Between run-ins with prostitutes, mob bosses and a nymphomaniac psychiatrist, Christopher does everything in his power to exact the perfect vengeance.'
