Gray Harbor Middle School for Dangerously Observant Youths: Hiring monstrous psychopaths as faculty since 1987.
Hellen began as a comic insert for my school's (Southern Maine Community College) end-of-semester newspaper. I wrote about 18 pages of story, but wound up having to cut the three-act introductory story I wrote off at the halfway point due to the impending deadline and printer limitations. I was also still learning a lot about how to draw a comic as I was making it, and really, I still am. As such, some of the art in these first nine pages will feel a little rushed. My hope is that by releasing these on a weekly basis, I can build a larger backlog of completed pages given adequate time and focus.
If happiness is fleeting, then the incognito emotional parasites known as Kiljoyes that infest our world sure don't help. Only Hellen Withtuels, a girl born without the ability to feel joy, has what it takes to combat them. With the help of the Bureau of Emotional Defense, she's on a mission to defend humanity's fragile peace of mind from those that exist only to destroy it.
