(This page is set in the Maze bookshop.)

Panel 1

(Iain is entering the bookshop, he is holding onto the door as he enters. You can see the light from outside behind him.)

Spx: Beep-bong!

Panel 2

(Iain and Sarah are in the bookshop. The door is still opened and you can see the side of Daniel's face on the right of the panel. He has stood up. Iain has put up his hand as he says hello.)

Iain: Hi.

Daniel: So what have we here?

Panel 3

(Anders is Daniel's assistant, he's crouching and was just about to put a book away. He knows there is something going on, he's looking round towards Iain and Sarah. Anders is a very tall guy with light hair pulled back in a ponytail and a goatee. His angular face displays the potential for a mischievous sense of humour. He's wearing jeans and a dark green woollen hooded jumper with a pale T-shirt under it. Anders is holding the book still and has just picked up a bottle of water. Hanging out of his pocket is a large gold cross.)

Panel 4

(Daniel standing glaring at Iain and Sarah. This panel is a straight on view of Daniel.)

Daniel: What foul beast has stolen our late friend's body and come to wreak havoc on the innocent? You've picked on the wrong people.

Daniel: ANDERS!

Panel 5

(Anders is running towards Iain, he's throwing water from an open bottle at him and has a cross in his left hand. Large drops of water are heading out from the bottle. He's frowning and looks grim and determined.)

Spx: Splat!

Panel 6

(Anders holds his cross up to the neck of the now soaking Iain. Sarah looks startled. You just see Anders hand in the left of the panel.)

Anders: Begone, foul beast and depart this place. AVANT!

Sarah: What's happening?

Panel 7

(Iain starts smirking and Sarah is frowning slightly at him. The view of this panel is from out a bit so you can see the corner of Anders' head.)

Iain: Nothing.

Anders: Um.

Hi Guys,

Finally, we have entered the Maze, an odd little bookshop that you might not find normally. Who knows what's going to happen next? Well, I do, but I'm not telling.

Jo did a great job on the sound effects for this page. (For once I didn't interfere.) This page also has a slightly more normal panel layout. I didn't want to detract from the action. Oh and I love that last panel. The expressions are spot on!

Dark Red news! Rhys, a good friend of mine, who plays the owner of the Maze, the guy that Jo introduced you to last week, is moving back home next Sunday. So we're doing some of the photoshoots for Dark Red - Issue #2 before he goes. I'm really looking forward to starting the next issue but its going to be sad as well. (Don't go, Rhys!!!!)

And I'll let you into a little secret. Rhys is an actual hero. But that's just between you and me. It's an honour to have him in the comic and we will miss him. But he will be a continuing character so don't worry about that.

And have a fun weekend!

Lynn
