The Vera Rigby Chronicles was an idea I had for a series of short graphic novels starring a spy (Vera Rigby) set in an alternate universe during the swinging 1960s. I was inspired by one of my favorite games of all time,\u00a0No One Lives Forever<\/em>, but I wrote this as an original story with all original characters, etc. The novel was titled\u00a0From the Shadows<\/em>\u00a0and was supposed to be the first of at least three novels. I started production on the novel in the spring of 2009.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Unfortunately, the pages of the novel that I posted on Renderosity and elsewhere were not nearly as popular as my adventure novels and the lack of interest hurt me deeply. So, the project was abandoned before the first novel could be completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When this novel was being worked on, I still used the program Paint Shop Pro and so all the files from this unfinished novel were saved in that format. When I found all the old files and decided to add them to my\u00a0Archive of Old<\/a>, I was unable to open the files due to no longer having the PSP program. Thankfully, one of my Facebook friends came through for me and converted the third chapter\u2019s image files to .jpgs for me. (Thanks, William Lee!) I have no idea what font I had used for the original panels so the last chapter\u2019s panels have a generic font which extends past the dialog bubbles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the zip file available for download below, you\u2019ll find the completed first two chapters plus what could be recovered of the unfinished third chapter. I\u2019m a little sorry I never finished this as it isn\u2019t half bad. I may revisit and rewrite this story at some point and create a\u00a0new<\/em>\u00a0novel. That would be cool but also a\u00a0lot\u00a0<\/strong>of work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
