doors of Angoulême

I came up with the initial idea for this story in 2008, during my first trip to the Angoulême comics festival in France. It was my first time ever visiting Europe, and I was blown away by the wide variety of beautiful, unique, handmade doors.

Thanks!

I’d like to thank my Patreon supporters, who helped subsidize the creation of this story, and my friends who provided feedback on early outlines and thumbnails: Gabe Carleton-Barnes, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Max de Radiguès, and Greg Means.

Isle of Elsi Ko-Fi repost!

Isle of Elsi Ko-Fi Repost

Each week when I have a new page of Isle of Elsi, I post about it on a variety of platforms to help spread the word (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Patreon). I recently set up a Ko-Fi page where I will start posting pages when the seventh Isle of Elsi storyline begins.

Since I’ve never posted any pages on Ko-Fi before, and I’m new to the platform, I thought it would be fun to repost the previous Isle of Elsi stories on there, a page a day. If you’d like to follow along, you can hit the “follow” button on my Ko-Fi page. It’s also very easy to make a donation through Ko-Fi if you are enjoying Isle of Elsi.

I also set up a Ko-Fi shop where you can get all the Isle of Elsi PDF eBooks for $0+, or order physical copies of my comic books, and books. It seems like a really cool platform, and I’m excited to experiment with it!

IOE 6 is Complete!

Support Isle of Elsi!

I post these comics online for free, but they take a lot of time and skill to create. If you would like to support Isle of Elsi I have a $1/month Patreon and I can accept donations through Ko-fi and PayPal. You can find links to these services on the support page.

Isle of Elsi Writing Hiatus!

With this story completed, I’m starting another “writing hiatus” where I will be thumbnailing the next story. It’s going to be a long one (100+ pages!) so I’m not sure how long I’ll be writing. I’ll report back here when I’m getting ready to post pages again.

Until then, thank you all so much for your support of this webcomic! I especially appreciate everyone who helped me spread the word about it. Best, Alec
