Spies, Lies and Mysteries - Part 2

This is Part 2 of 'Spies, Lies and Mysteries Episode 1', for Part 1 click here.

Hello there!!

Today is the second part of Spies, Lies and Mysteries Episode 1.

Part 1 Recap


From Part One.
Last we read, Aleksandra, the Russian spy, was being told to lay low by her superiors because of a notorious nazi spy killer had taken out all the other Allied Spies in Paris. 

However, despite her best efforts, this spy killer has come upon her and taken a liking to her, or perhaps he is onto her secret... either way he is giving her a little bit too much attention.

Then, after having a chat with a friendly artist in the park on the way home, she comes home to a nazi raid... and what's worse, she has her suitcase with all her spy stuff out from under the bed!

We join her as she tries to somehow survive this situation.

P.S. Handy tip.  If you are having trouble reading the text, you can click on the images and scroll through them like an e-comic.






















































































I hope you enjoyed the first episode of this series.  As with all my stories, if you - my favourite person - and my other readers - my other favourite people - like the comic, I will make more for you.

I have some interesting ideas about what will happen as our spy hunter tracks down his last target, and falls in love with her alternate identity at the same time...

As well as what will happen with the growing rebellion in downtown Paris.

Until that episode is ready however, you might enjoy reading my first novel, and the first book the character Aleksandra appeared in.  You can check it out here:

New Comic! Spies, Lies and Mysteries - Part 1

Hello :-)

Today I wanted to share with you, since you're one of my awesome subscribers, a comic I created last year.

This comic is the first issue in a series I am planning to redraw and develop further, depending on the response I get from you.  I have broken the issue into two parts, sharing the first part today, and the second next Friday/Saturday.

At this stage I won't say too much before you read it, but for those who have read my novel The Last King of Shambhala, you will recognise Aleksandra, the Russian spy from that book... 

And so in a sense, this series serves as a prequel to her adventures in that novel.

I hope you enjoy.

Daniel

P.S. If you enjoyed reading part one of this comic, you are welcome to share it with your friends and family on Facebook or Twitter, or write me a message in the comments section below.

















































Oh no!  Is this the end for Aleksandra?  Is she going to get caught? ...

Spot the Difference II - back by popular demand...

Hey reader!!

Back by popular demand, another 'Spot the Difference' game I created for a funky magazine.

If you missed the last one I shared, you can see it by clicking here.

There's 10 differences to be found, and they are slightly harder than the previous game.  Answers below the pic.  Happy hunting! :-)

Daniel

P.S. This coming Friday/Saturday (depending on where you are in the world), I'm sharing the 'Spies, Lies and Mysteries' comic #1 with my subscribers.  So keep an eye out for that friends :-)


















The 10 differences are:

3) An extra pelican in the water
4) There is a ship
5) Flower petals are a different colour
6) Sun is in a different place
7) Sea gulls in the sky
8) Girl's singlet is white
9) Girl's flip flops are pink
10) Girl is wearing a watch

Donatello fan art - originally a picture I drew for my nephew that came upon some artistic ooze and mutated into something worth sharing with you!








































Drew a picture of Donatello for one of my wonderful nephews, and then I thought I'd colour him in and share it with you, my wonderful reader! :-)

I've given him quite muted colours, a simple background that makes him pop out ...

... and taken inspiration from all the depictions of Donatello since Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird brought him to the page to the ones we have today.

I hope you like my homage to the world's smartest ninja-trained turtle... perhaps the smartest turtle full stop.

Until next time, cowabunga and peace out, my friend.

- Daniel :-)
