Orc Girl
Orc Girl
Writer/Letterer: Paul Allor
Artist: Thomas Boatwright
Editor: Rob Anderson
The world is as big as you want it to be.
In this gentle coming-of-age story, Fern the orc discovers that it can be a very large place, indeed. But is that what she wants?
”I didn't even know I could love an orc untl I read Paul Allor's Orc Girl. Funny, charming, bittersweet, and moving, I found myself dreading the end and demanding a sequel at the same time. Absolutely lovely in story and art, a perfect little comic, realized brilliantly.”
-- Gail Simone (Uncanny X-Men)
”Checks all the boxes for things I not only love, but ache for in fiction – non-traditional leads, surprising coming of age stories, strong female lead characters, stereotype busting, beautiful atypical art, and smart lovely writing. But sometimes creators forget that checking those boxes – whether for political correctness or passion – doesn’t make something good. It still has to be good.
”Orc Girl is GOOD.”
-- Kelly Thompson (Absolute Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey)
My first one-shot comic, self-published and self-distributed.
It led to Past the Last Mountain, an expansive project set in the same world, hundreds of years later.
